Channapatna bypoll in focus during padayatra

The BJP and JD(S) utilized the 'Mysore Chalo' padayatra to campaign for the upcoming Channapatna assembly bypoll. Despite internal conflicts over candidate selection, especially between JD(S) and BJP's CP Yogeshwar, both parties aimed to strengthen their positions against the ruling Congress. JD(S) considered fielding Nikhil Kumaraswamy, with BJP signaling potential support for him.
