Congress, JD(S) may join hands to rule BJP-dominated Mysuru, Tumakaru city corporations

September 3, 2018

Mysuru, Sept 3: The coalition government partners of Karnataka – Congress and JD(S) – are likely to join hands in two of the three city corporations that went into polls recently.

Elections were held to the city corporations of Shivamogga, Msyuru and Tumakuru on August 31. While BJP registered a thumping victory in Shivamogga CC by winning 20 out of 35 seats, it emerged single largest party in Mysuru and Tumakuru. However it lacked clear majority in these two CCs.

The Congress, JD(S) and BSP together have clear numbers to wrest the Mysuru City Corporation. In the 65 member council, Congress has won 19, JD(S) 17, and BSP has won one seat. The BJP has won 22 and independents have won five seats.

In Tumakuru City Corporation that has a total 35 seats, Congress and JD(S) have secured 10 seats each while BJP has won 12 and three independents have won. With an already announced post-poll tie up, these two corporations is likely to go to the coalition.
