Mysuru: Among the Assembly constituencies that will come under intense scrutiny in Karnataka is Chamundeshwari, the constituency that has got its name from Goddess Chamundeshwari, the presiding deity of Mysuru where former friends Chief Minister Siddharamaiah and current MLA G.T. Devegowda are fighting a bitter electoral battle.
After some indecision, the CM has finally decided to contest from Chamundeshwari, the constituency that gave him ‘rebirth’ in 2006 after he quit the JD(S) following differences with party Supremo H.D. Deve Gowda. When he was in the JD(S), G.T. Devegowda and Siddharamaiah were close friends and now they are political adversaries.
