The Hassan Lok Sabha Constituency  is one of the 28 Lok Sabha constituencies going to vote in Karnataka. The vote will be cast during the 2nd phase on April 18 and counting will be done on May 23.

It covers the following segments –  Kadur, Shravanabelagola, Arsikere, Belur, Hassan, Holenarasipur, Arkalgud and Sakleshpur which is reserved for members of Scheduled Castes.

It’s former PM HD Deve Gowda’s bastion and BJP will have a tough time wresting it from JD(S).

In 2014, the former PM won by a margin of 1 lakh votes to beat Congress’ Manju A. In 2009, he defeated K Hanume Gowda by a margin of 2.91 lakh votes.

Gowda has given up the seat for his grandson Prajwal Revanna who will face-off against A Manju of BJP. Prajwal Revanna is son of Karnataka PWD minister HD Revanna.

This has been a bastion with HD Deve Gowda winning in 2004 and being elected in 1991 and 1998 as well.

According to the officials, 237 candidates are in the field in 14 Lok Sabha constituencies that will go to polls in the second phase on April 23.

The officials said 45 candidates have withdrawn their nomination on Monday, the last day to withdraw papers for the second phase.

Belgaum with 57 has the maximum number of candidates, while Raichur with five have the lowest in the second phase, as well as in both phases on the whole.

For the first phase of polls on April 18, 241 candidates are in the fray.  In 2014, BJP won 17 seats, Congress won 9 and the JD(S) two.
