Some Karnataka Congress insiders are now hinting that family ties and financial influence played a significant role in candidate selection. Fourteen out of 24 candidates are kin of party leaders. The choices seem entirely based on money, muscle and influence of leaders in seats. Dissent has broken out in Bagalkot and Davanagere, where local leaders have openly expressed their disgust.
