Before first vote is cast, congress gives BJP first seat (Davanagere North). Davanagere North was alloted to Shaffi Ahmed. But supporters of former minster Mallikarjunappa (His father Shivashankarappa is contesting Davanagere South) snatched BForm from Congress observeres and erased Shaffi Ahmed's name and wrote Mallikarjun's name. Returning officer rejected the congress application ensuring easy win for 3 time winner S.A.Ravindranath of BJP. (Scoring self goal congress way). It should affect neighbouring Davanagere North (For the first time BJP gained control of Davanager City Corporation last year) and surrounding 10 seats. Yogendra Yadav are you ready to eat crow when they announce results on May 25.
