Davangere South: Close contest on the cards while minorities are divided over supporting Shamanur family
Siddaramaiah, the Chief Minister of Karnataka, returned to Davangere on Sunday to campaign for the upcoming byelection in the constituency, facing a divided AHINDA vote. The constituency has seen an unprecedented increase in Muslim candidates this election, with 13 out of 25 candidates being from the community. The outcome will likely hinge on the decision of minority voters, particularly Muslims, who have been demanding representation and are concerned about the lack of development in the area compared to Davangere North. The voting patterns indicate that Muslim votes determine victory in the constituency.
