With a Karnataka politician's super-fast return to his party Congress just a month after he joined the BJP, Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy's wife has caught an unexpected break two days before by-elections. Anitha Kumaraswamy, contesting bypolls on Saturday as the Janata Dal Secular candidate from Ramanagara, now has no strong BJP rival after L Chandrashekhar's return to the Congress.
It's a twist worthy of Ramanagara, better known as the setting of 1970s blockbuster Sholay.
