Hi...The main thing is the death of farmer PM Rajeev Ghandhi, yes Mr.S B Nyamagouda was a good leader built a farmers own barrage across the krishna river, but his consern area was two assy constituency. Jamakhandi & Bilagi, but other assy constituency voters, voted a simpathy vote to congress by the unexpected death of Rajiv Ghandi Guru Pujari Banahatti
Sri Ramakrishna Hegde contested from Janata dal, not Lok Shakti. Lok Shakti was formed very late in 1997-98. That legendary election was in essence a struggle between the "2 great secularists S. Bangarappa & Sri Hegde".
It turned out that Bangarappa took revenge against Sri Hegde, who snatched the CM post from him in 1983.
Alas, both these giants joined hands with BJP, after criticizing it for decades.
Is rediff.com publishing all this infavour of Congress, who have taken the public for granted for the past immicable years. If so, please stop this favourism for God's sake
