Bengaluru: JDS still uncertain whether to field its candidates to the by-elections scheduled to be held for Nanjangud and Gundlupet assembly constituencies as BJP and Congress are moving forward for neck to neck fight in the two constituencies. At present JDS doesn’t has a powerful candidate(s) to field them in the two constituencies. Also the term of the winning candidate is only limited for one year. Theretofore both JDS National President HD Deve Gowda and State President HD Kumaraswamy has decided not to field candidate for by-elections.

However, JDS Party workers are pressuring the party leaders to field party candidates to contest in the by-elections. Therefore, JDS leaders, HD Kumaraswamy and HD Deve Gowda have decided to take decision on the matter in a party legislature meeting which is expected to be held in Bengaluru on March 15. Based on the opinions of the party workers and other leaders JDS would decide weather party needs to field its candidate or not.
