Yeddyurappa fears defeat in Shikaripura: Congress
by Suresh Gowda on Apr 30, 2008 09:58 PM

Yediyurappa has contested from Shikaripura 6 times.
First time he won with 63 percent votes defeating then Jail minister of Congress.
Every time he has won with more than 50 percent of votes.
In 1999 he lost by 2 percentage points due to set of circumstances including unpopularity of JH Patel govt.(Alliance was forced by George and Nitesh on state unit).
Yediyurappas party controls city and all gram panchayats.
JD(S) has lost deposit in last 5 elections in this seat.
Is there a contest or easy way to get rid of Bangarappa by Congress.
