The statement by the former CM and son of JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda comes following a statement on Friday by BJP national executive member and former chief minister B S Yediyurappa that both parties have reached an understanding over the sharing of the 28 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka for the 2024 Parliamentary polls.
The veteran leader, who is also the BJP parliamentary board member, said that, as part of the poll understanding, the JD(S) will contest in four Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka, which has a total of 28 constituencies.
The Karnataka High Court has rejected a petition seeking directions to the Election Commission of India for the NRIs to vote from their respective countries in the assembly elections.
