If all goes well, industrialist Vijay Mallya will soon become a Member of Parliament yet again.
The flamboyant liquor baron will file his nomination for a seat in Rajya Sabha today and will perhaps get elected unopposed, following a pact with the JD (S) and the BJP.
It's believed that Mallya has struck a deal with the two major parties in the state, while the Congress is said to have decided on not fielding its candidate against him.
"We are fielding just one candidate. As we didn't forge an alliance with the JD (S), we don't have enough numbers to put another candidate in the fray," said a senior Congress leader.
