The election campaign for eight assembly constituencies in Karnataka which go for the by-polls on December 27, ended at 5 pm on Thursday. The leaders of different parties including those from the Congress, BJP and the JD(S) campaigned for their candidates till the last minute.
Not wishing to invite the ire of the Election Commission which has been keeping a strict vigil on the activities in these constituencies, the parties ended their campaigns bang on schedule.
The by-election is being viewed as a prestige issue for the Congress and the JD(S) who have lost several partymen to the lure of ministerial berths extended by the ruling BJP in the state.
The BJP is also determined to continue its winning streak in the last electoral outing ahead of the Lok Sabha elections scheduled for 2009.
