Fielding Sajjanar has come as a surprise as there were strong rumours that the party would give ticket to former Hanagal MLA late C M Udasi’s daughter-in-law Revathi Udasi.

It was Udasi”s demise in June this year, which had necessitated the bypoll to Hanagal constituency.
Sajjanar is a former BJP MLA from Haveri and a long time close aide of former Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, BJP sources said.
On the other hand, Ramesh Bhusanur”s candidature was in the offing and it was quite certain that he would get the ticket. PTI
