All the candidates will file their nominations tomorrow and the election will be held on June 13. While the BJP has fielded three candidates, the opposition BJP in Karnataka has also released its list of candidates. Former minister CD Ravi, current MLC N. Ravikumar and party president Dr. MG Mule have been fielded as candidates on behalf of the BJP. BJP is likely to win only 3 out of 11 constituencies based on numbers. So BJP has announced only three candidates. There was widespread talk of sending a seat to CD Ravi, who had lost the Assembly elections. Former Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa had hinted about this recently. Also, in the core committee meeting, the names of many people, including Siti Ravi, Sadananda Gowda, Nalin Kumar Kadil, who were deprived of Lok Sabha seats, were also sent to the higher level. Ultimately the high-level committee decided to give the ticket to City Ravi. The high command said no to these names, and this time BJP state president and Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Katil, Bengaluru North MP and former chief minister Sadananda Gowda were also denied tickets. He was also told that he might get an Assembly ticket. But the high level committee did not consider them.
