BENGALURU: Congress announced its candidates for all the 198 wards of Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike on Sunday, just a day before the last day of filing nominations. This was to ensure that those who fail to get the ticket do not get much time to defect to other parties.
Also, the party distributed the ‘B’ forms to the candidates even before announcing the list as part of its strategy to pre-empt rebellion.
However, the party could not quell the rebellion. Party workers in Nagapura ward demanded the expulsion of N L Narendra Babu, former MLA, for denying ticket to loyal party workers and giving it to his brother N L Mahesh Kumar.
They staged a protest at the party head office on Queen’s Road and also at the party office in the ward.
Meanwhile, party leader H T Sangliana expressed displeasure over the list. “I had suggested a name for Ramaswamy Palya ward, but that was not included. I had asked the party ticket for Mary, a teacher and a good social worker. She has a good chance to win. These suggestions have been ignored,” he said.
Discontent in BJP
Rebel trouble is dogging BJP too. Former mayor and the Kuruba face of the party in the city, Venkatesh Murthy, and his followers took out a protest rally from Vidyapeetha circle to Katriguppe ward office on Sunday. Traffic on the road was affected. Murthy accused senior BJP leader R Ashoka of denying him the ticket. In the last elections, he won from Katriguppe ward.
“Some leaders who are unable to tolerate my political growth have denied me the ticket,” Murthy told Express, adding that he was not planning to leave the party.
“I have spoken to Union minister H N Ananth Kumar to vouch for me. He had assured me that he would talk to the state BJP leaders.”
Denying the allegation, Ashoka said, “The names were cleared by the ward president, constituency president, the MLA and MP. Since Murthy and I belong to different Assembly segments, there is no question of me having any role in denying him the ticket. If Murthy’s name is cleared by the MLA and MP, we can still take his name forward.”
The BJP and JD(S) will come out with the list on Monday.
