JD(S) has not announced candidates for Mahalakshmi Layout, Kagwad, Athani and Gokak.
The Janata Dal (Secular) on Thursday announced its candidates in 10 out of 15 Assembly seats that are headed for bye-polls on December 5. The seats in which the party has not announced candidates yet include Kagwad, Athani, Mahalakshmi Layout, Hosakote and Gokak. The party has announced it will support independent candidate Sharat Bachegowda in Hosakote. The JD(S)' announcement comes a day after the Supreme Court decided that the rebel MLAs who resigned from the Congress-JD(S) ruling coalition can contest the bye-polls. Incidentally, all the rebel MLAs except Roshan Baig joined the BJP in presence of Chief Minister and former state president BS Yediyurappa on Wednesday.
