In fact, ignoring Savadi’s request, the BJP had earlier this week given the Athani seat in Belagavi district to sitting MLA Mahesh Kumathalli. Savadi is currently a member of the Legislative Council on a BJP ticket. He has also been a three-time MLA from Athani. He was defeated by Kumathalli (then in Congress) in the 2018 assembly elections. Kumathalli was among that group of Congress defectors that helped topple the Congress-JD(S) coalition government and form the government under BS Yediyurappa in 2019.
