Balappa Bhimappa Chimmanakatti is a politician from the state of Karnataka. He is a leader of Indian National Congress. He won as MLA[2][3][4] in 2013 from Badami assembly constituency. In 2018 assembly elections, then Chief Minister Siddaramaiah contested elections from Badami and hence Chimmanakatti did not contest.[5][6][7]
Career
[edit | edit source]He has been the MLA[8] of Badami in 1978, 1983, 1994, 1999 and 2013. He is the founder[9] of Shri Kalidasa educational society in Badami, Bagalkot district. He secured victory over Shanthagouda Thirthgouda Patil from the BJP with a margin of 9725 votes.[10][11]
BB Chimmanakatti was disappointed when the Congress decided to field Siddaramaiah from Badami which raised concerns about a potential defeat in Chamundeshwari. Chimmanakatti openly expressed his dissatisfaction over not receiving a ticket as it was given to another Kuruba leader Siddaramaiah. Nonetheless, he was eventually reassured and Siddaramaiah managed to secure a narrow victory with a margin of 1,696 votes against the BJP candidate, B Sriramulu. in 2013, Chimmanakatti had won the election with a more substantial margin of over 15,000 votes.[12] His son won Badami seat which he represented 5 times.[13]
