Victory in Hangal, which is in his home district, is seen as a prestige issue for Bommai in his first election after becoming CM
In Hangal, which has seen a victory margin of around 6,000 favouring either the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or the Congress in the past three elections, the ruling party, with its recent leadership change, is not taking any chances. That explains the constant presence of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in the bypoll-bound constituency for the past one week. Winning in Hangal, which lies in his home district, is seen as a prestige issue for the Chief Minister.
