Speaking to the media on Wednesday, he said, “I’ve chosen constituencies namely Jamakhandi, Terdal, Bagalkot, Dharwad City, Sringeri, and Karkala to contest the upcoming assembly elections. From this, I’ll choose one by the end of this month.”
“I’ve asked for seat share with BJP. About 25 seats have been requested, out of which five will be allotted to seers. If the BJP doesn’t issue tickets, we will contest as independent candidates.
