Karnataka MPs playing musical chair 

The Karnataka BJP MPs were playing a musical chair competition as they waited for the list to be announced. 

Sitting BJP MP from Bangalore North Sadananda Gowda had already put out a post on X, confessing he is not contesting the election. In his place. 

Karnataka has 28 Lok Sabha seats. As of now, the list contains names of 20 constituencies. In the third list, the remaining names will be announced. 

It will now be a herculean task to soothe frayed tempers.
