Bangalore: The state BJP has let a war of comments loose, I regard to ex CM H.D.Kumaraswamy’s presence in Chennapatna by-polls in April when he is an MP and nothing to gain by winning a local by-poll.
In Madhugiri by-election, JD-S fielded HDK’s wife Anitha who is MLA now. Are there no candidates left in JD-S, BJP state unit chief K.S.Eshwarappa has worked sarcastically.
KSE also asked whether in JDS only Gowda family members count and not any loyal member outside, especially senior activists. Why should an MP contest for MLAs post? Are there none else? Do they have any values? It was not proper for an ex-CM to contest in a by-poll when he is MP, KSE told Pressmen on Monday. He made fun of HDK by saying that if anybody else was set up as a candidate, JDS may not win the by-election with him as candidate.
Congress will increase its candidates’ names on Monday (today). The BJP candidate, Yogeshwar has bitten the dust twice, in that place. Only on a sympathy vote can he win in Chennapatna, voters say.
