Since BJP is still not very strong in Old Mysore region districts such as Hassan, Mandya, Chamarajpet. So BJP has to sweep other districts to compensate this. Also Wherever BJP is weak, Congress & JDS are strong. Thhis true in many places except Bellary. Most of the MP Prakash faction leaders will get tickets from BJP but canogress cannot promise tickets to MP prakash faction leaders. That is why it is MP prakash is planning to join BJP. If he joins congress , congress as to face rebel.
