Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has called a Congress legislature party (CLP) meeting at a resort in Bidadi on the outskirts of Bengaluru on Tuesday to discuss a strategy to win all the five seats it is contesting in the legislative council polls scheduled for June 18, Thursday.The Congress MLAs will also stay at the resort till the day of polls as the party leadership is worried over possible poaching by the JDS, which has fielded a candidate despite not having the required number of votes.Some senior Congress lawmakers had reportedly objected to a stay at a five-star resort and even insisted that the CLP be held at Vidhana Soudha, the state secretariat. Some seniors will continue to stay in Bengaluru, sources said.Union minister HD Kumaraswamy, who is also the State JDS president, met with the party’s core committee members on Friday and discussed a strategy to get its candidate Govindaraju elected.Both chief minister DK Shivakumar and Kumaraswamy have attached a lot of importance to the June 18 council polls as it has emerged as a proxy war between the two.There are eight candidates in the fray for seven seats for which MLAs are the voters. The Congress earlier named five people and the BJP two, but the JDS decision to jump into the fray changed the scenario overnight.Thippannappa Kamknoor, PV Mohan, BK Hariprasad, Shivanna and Vinay Karthik Prakash are contesting as Congress nominees, while the BJP has fielded Lingaraj Patil and Raghu R. With each MLA assigned a particular candidate, the contest is going to be between Govindaraju and Vinay Karthik Prakash, the fifth candidate by the Congress.The BJP has promised to assign six surplus votes to the JDS. The regional party itself has 18 MLAs, and it will require another four votes to win.
