Bengaluru Going o Make History By Sending A Women Representative To Lok Sabha?
Bengaluru is one of the cosmopolitan cities of south India. Despite having many Loksabha seats so far Bengaluru has not sent any women leader to the parliament source says. This time, Bengaluru South and Bengaluru North saw one each women candidate in the election, source says. The Congress has fielded Soumya Reddy from Bengaluru south, and BJP has given the ticket to Sobha Karandalaje, a central minister and very popular leader of the state, source says. Reddy has challenged Tej Pratap Surya, a firebrand BJP leader. Reddy lost the 2023 assembly seat of Jayanagar by 16 votes source says. She is very strong, and the fight between the two was remarkable, source says. Rajiv Gauda of Congress challenged Karandalaje in north Bengaluru. Till 2004, north Bengaluru was a Congress bastion, but thereafter, it has gone to BJP source says. The result of both the constituencies will set the future agenda of the state government source says.
