Mysuru, Aug 7: The media was agog with the speculation recently that Shobha Karandlaje might sacrifice her Udupi-Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha seat to enter the state Assembly.
It was said that either Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar or Chikkamagaluru MLA C T Ravi might sacrifice their seat in her favour and that one of them would get the chance to fight the next year's Lok Sabha election by replacing Shobha.
But state BJP president B S Yeddyurappa has dismissed these speculations, by asserting that Shobha will fight the next Lok Sabha election.
