Chandrakant Bellad is the former member of Karnataka Legislative Assembly and an Indian Politician. He first contested 1983 Karnataka Legislative Assembly elections as a Janata Party candidate from Dharwad Assembly constituency and lost by a wafer thin margin of 132 votes against S. R. Morey of Indian National Congress.[2] Later he defeated the same candidate and emerged victorious in 1985 Karnataka Legislative Assembly elections.[2] He unsuccessfully contested against then 3-time Indian National Congress MP D. K. Naikar from Dharwad North Lok Sabha constituency during 1991 Indian general elections.[3][4] Despite not having any BJP MLA from then Dharwad district (comprising Dharwad, Haveri and Gadag districts in present day), Chandrakant Bellad gave a close fight by getting 29% votes which was just 22,209 less than D. K. Naikar.[5] He was elected to Karnataka Legislative Assembly (from Dharwad Assembly constituency) in 1994 and 1999. He also represented Hubli-Dharwad West from 2008 to 2013.[2] He was the President of Border Area Development Authority from 2008 to 2013. He announced retirement from active politics before 2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly elections.[6][7]
