Bengaluru, March 13 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is likely to announce the candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka on Wednesday.
Sources said BJP is likely to announce candidates for 15 to 18 Lok Sabh constituencies of the state. The supporters of Mysuru-Kodagu MP Seat Pratap Simha have decided to stage a protest on Wednesday following the news that his name has been dropped from the list.
Simha’s followers have also started social media campaigns highlighting his contributions in the last 10 years. They have also brought in caste angle and claimed that a young leader from a humble background hailing from Vokkaliga community has been denied the ticket which will curtail his growth.
