Let Gowda win from Varuna if he has guts says Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah challenged Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda to contest and win from the Varuna constituency seat in Mysore– “if he has the guts”.
The CM said that his son Dr Yathindra would contest from the Varuna constituency in the upcoming Assembly polls “if the party gives him a ticket”.
“I challenge Sadananda Gowda to contest and win against him if he has the courage,” Siddaramaiah said.
“Why should I be afraid just because Sadananda Gowda is made in-charge of the constituency? What does he know about the constituency? In the last election, I have won by a margin of 32,000 votes. Just because Sadananda Gowda is made in-charge, will that change?” he asked media persons who met him.
“If it is so convenient for the BJP, let Sadananda Gowda contest, instead of someone else,” he remarked.
