SM Krishna completely sidelined?

The anti-incumbency facing the BJP has driven the Congress into a sense of overconfidence. Their complacency became all too evident during the ticket distributions. Several Congress candidates grabbed tickets at the expense of local grass-root leaders. Even a senior leader like SM Krishna went into a sulk after his nominee failed to get the Congress ticket from Mandya. It's the infighting that could prove the biggest hurdle for the Congress in battleground Karnataka.
