Undeterred Nikhil likely to lead JDS in future elections in Karnataka

Apart from last month's bypoll, Nikhil, son of Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy and grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, lost his two previous electoral battles—the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Mandya as a JDS-Congress alliance candidate and the 2023 Assembly polls from Ramanagara, a seat that his mother, Anitha Kumaraswamy, had sacrificed for him. Nikhil's third straight defeat came in Channapatna, a seat vacated by his father Kumaraswamy after the latter was elected to the Lok Sabha from Mandya this year.
