Expelled Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader K.S. Eshwarappa on May 28, said his contest as an Independent candidate in the Shivamogga Lok Sabha constituency and K. Raghupathi Bhat’s contest as an Independent candidate in the Legislative Council elections will lead to cleansing of dynasty politics from the saffron party.

Yediyurappa and his family. They were aghast that the family was treating the party as their personal fiefdom.

Initially boasting of 31 stalls, Bengaluru Santhe now has a mere five functional stalls. Store owners and managers attribute this decline to what they describe as a “chicken and egg situation,” wherein the lack of footfall discourages stall ownership, and the sparse number of stalls further dissuades potential visitors.
