The JD(S) is expected to field Suraj Revanna, son of former Minister H.D.Revanna, in the election for Hassan Local Authorities’ Constituency of the Legislative Council. He would be filing the nomination papers on Friday, sources in the party said.
However, the party has not made an official announcement on his candidature. In a recent meeting held in Hassan, party’s national president and former Prime Minister H.D.Deve Gowda said the party would finalise the candidate after consulting the party workers in all taluks. Mr. Revanna held meetings in taluks, where the names of Bhavani Revana and Mr. Suraj Revanna were suggested by workers and leaders. One more meeting is scheduled in Hassan on Thursday.
If the party fields Mr. Suraj Revanna, he would be the fourth person from the Revanna family to enter electoral politics. His younger brother Prajwal Revanna is Lok Sabha member. Ms. Bhavani Revanna was elected to Hassan Zilla Panchayat.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
