Appu Pattanashetti gets BJP ticket

By Our Staff Correspondent

BIJAPUR, MARCH 30. The Bharatiya Janata Party has named Appu Pattanashetti as its candidate from the Bijapur city Assembly Constituency.

Announcing this at a press conference here on Tuesday, Shivanand Kallur, General Secretary of district unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party, said the party leaders "unanimously'' favoured the candidature of Mr. Pattanashetti, who narrowly lost the 1999 Assembly election.

To a query, he denied that difference of opinion among the party leaders was the reason for the delay in finalising the candidate. The party had elicited the opinion of its important functionaries. All aspirants were taken into confidence, and the party zeroed in on Mr. Pattananshetti, he added. Mr. Pattanashetti would file his papers on Wednesday. On the desertion of Shivanand Patil, member of the dissolved Assembly from Tikota, he said it would not have any adverse impact on the party. Mr. Patil is the Congress candidate from the Basavanabagewadi segment.
