Old Mysore region is once again set to emerge as a key political battlefield for traditional rivals Janata Dal (S) and Congress during the forthcoming gram panchayat elections.
Even though gram panchayat elections are not fought on party symbols, it is common knowledge that grassroots-level workers and supporters of parties throw their hats in the ring to further their political aspirations.
The JD(S), which draws its strength from its support base concentrated in the Vokkaliga heartland of Old Mysore region, is wary of a possible dilution of the party’s identity at the grassroots level in the wake of its tie-up with the Congress to not only form a coalition government, but also share seats in the last Lok Sabha elections.
