Mr Bangarappa, who represented Soraba constituency for more than 25 years, stuck to this schedule during Assembly polls in the '80s and '90s.

Flanked by KPCC working president S R Patil, local legislator B B Chimmanakatti - with whom he had earlier discussed strategy - and former Union minister C M Ibrahim, Mr Siddaramaiah arrived at the returning officer's office at the 11th hour on the last day for submission of nomination papers but not before spending a couple of hours discussing strategy in Mr Chimmanakatti's residence.
