Bengaluru: Ruling out an alliance with the ruling Congress for next month’s polls to Rajya Sabha, leaders of JD(S) have decided to field multi-millionaire realtor B M Farook though the party lacks the requisite strength in the Legislative Assembly to win the seat on its own.
A JDLP meeting would be held on May 30 to formally announce Mr Farook as the official nominee for Rajya Sabha polls. “We are not interested to join hands with the Congress. Our party will field its candidate for Rajya Sabha elections,” sources close to state JD (S) president H D Kumaraswamy told DC. Ten independent MLAs have proposed the name of Mr Farook. He will submit his nomination papers on Monday.
