Chief minister Jagadish Shettar may believe that his party will be able to safeguard its vote bank against the onslaught of the new party launched by B.S. Yeddyurappa, but the first point of attack by the Karnataka Janata Party could be Mr Shettar’s own seat.
While the chief minister has launched an aggressive campaign to consolidate his votebank in his Hubli-Dharwad Central constituency, the KJP is drawing up its own strategies to defeat him in the coming Assembly polls.
