Raichur: Maski assembly constituency Congress MLA Pratap Gowda Patil allegedly goes missing. 

It has been reported that, Pratap Gowda Patil this time wished to contest on a BJP ticket sensing that the party may come to power with a simple majority.

A source said “He wanted to contest from BJP ticket, he pacified his desire suspecting backfire. In the beginning, Patil felt that, it would become easy for him to win if he had contested from the BJP. But since some villages from Sindhanur taluk also comes under Manvi and Congress leader Hampanagouda Badarli may work against him, if he joined BJP, Patil decided to stay in the Congress.”

At present, Patil is not reachable and the Congress is citing health issues for Patil.
