Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah is pushing himself hard to wrest the neighbouring Lok Sabha constituencies of Mysuru and Chamarajanagar (SC) from BJP as he probably sees the outcome as a vote on his own performance. A win would help him cement his position in Congress and the government. In both constituencies, NDA and Congress candidates are fresh faces. In Mysuru, a seat Congress last won in 2009, the entry of Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, the scion of the royal family, as BJP candidate has made the contest a tight one for Congress. By picking Wadiyar, BJP has tried to nullify anti-incumbency as sitting MP Pratap Simha has completed two terms. Mysureans have always seen members of the royal family beyond the narrow lens of caste. Congress has fielded M Lakshman, a Vokkaliga, going for the community after 47 years. The community voters are dominant in Mysuru district, and the CM is betting on these votes, besides its traditional votes from the Kuruba (OBC) and minority communities. The absence of SDPI and BSP candidates, according to local political analyst Kudli Gururaj, might help Congress get some extra votes.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said there is no Modi wave in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections but there is one in favour of the Congress party's guarantee schemes in the state. Addressing a poll rally here, he said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had failed to fulfill any of his promises such as bringing back black money from abroad, creating two crore jobs every year and doubling farm income. «There is no Modi wave in the state because of his lies.
