Dharwad:

The Banajiga Samaj leaders gathered near the Deputy Commissioner’s office here demanding a ticket for BJP leader and former Karnataka chief minister Jagdish Shettar for the ensuing assembly elections. The Banajiga Samaj leaders expressed outrage that the ticket was given to a person groomed by Jagdish Shettar. "Our society has given seven chief ministers to the state. Shettar's contribution to BJP and North Karnataka is immense. They insisted that he should be given a ticket for that," a community leader said. Prof VC Savadi, Shivananda Kavali, Mrutyunjaya Karadigudda, Rajasekhara Uppina, Shekhara Kavali, Arun Shilavant and others participated in the demonstration.
