Former PM H D Deve Gowda to contest Rajya Sabha poll from Karnataka
Former Prime Minister and JD(S) patriarch H D Deve Gowda will contest the Rajya Sabha election from Karnataka, scheduled to happen on June 19, and he’ll file his nominations on Tuesday (June 9), his son and former Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy confirmed on Monday (June 8).
According to Kumaraswamy, Deve Gowda determined to enter the fray following the request of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, a number of different leaders and social gathering legislators, and it was not simple to “persuade” him to file the nomination for the Upper House of Parliament.
“Former PM @H_D_Devegowda has decided to contest the Rajya Sabha elections at the request of party legislators, @INCIndia Sonia Gandhi Ji and several national leaders. He is going to file his nominations tomorrow. Thanks to Sri DeveGowda for agreeing to everyone”s consensus,” Kumaraswamy tweeted.

“From the people, former prime minister DeveGowda has seen success and defeat. By the people, he has acquired higher positions. It was not an easy task to persuade DeveGowda to enter the Rajya Sabha,” he added.

Notably, the JD(S) has 34 seats in Karnataka Assembly and it will probably win a seat in Rajya Sabha solely with the help of the Congress. If Deve Gowda wins, this can be his second Rajya Sabha time period, The 87-year-old former prime minister first turned a Rajya Sabha member in 1996.
The election to fill 4 Rajya Sabha seats from Karnataka, represented by Rajeev Gowda and B Ok Hariprasad of Congress, Prabhakar Kore of BJP and D Kupendra Reddy of JD(S) which can be scheduled to fall vacant on June 25 will happen on June 19. The final date for submitting nominations is June 9.
