Will Chiru, Pawan fight it out on Kannada soil?

Will North Karnataka witness an interesting face-off between Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan? It seems likely. Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has already extended support to Janata Dal Secular. JDS boss HD Kumaraswamy himself announced that Pawan Kalyan will campaign for the party candidates. Pawan can have a great influence over the large Telugu population in North Karnataka districts.

Meanwhile, though not a Rajya Sabha MP anymore, Chiru is much in demand in the Karnataka Congress circles. 

CM Siddaramaiah himself asked the high command to send Chiru to campaign for the Congress.  If this happens, there is every likelihood of a Chiru-Pawan verbal war on Karnataka soil.
