It is said that there would be an amicable battle between the applicants of these two parties in both the constituencies. In the mean time, for the Jayanagara constituencies which was cleared by the passing of present MLA and BJP applicant B N Vijayakumar, the BJP is truly considering handling his brother Prahlad Babu. The names of former chairman S K Nataraj, Tejaswi Soorya, and Union Minister Ananth Kumar’s wife Tejaswini Ananth Kumar are in the list. 

BJP senior leaders have relegated the duty of RR Nagar election to Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda and Ananth Kumar will be the in-charge for Jayanagara constituency elections.
