JD(S) will show its strength in bypoll: Deve Gowda

March 9, 2012

Chikmagalur, March 9: Former Prime Minister and JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda has said that his party would show its strength in Udupi-Chikmagalur bypolls

Speaking at the JD(S) convention in the city he called upon the party workers to take up the impending poll as a challenge to save the party.

“The Congress party workers have questioned where is JD(S) in the state? JD(S) is in the minds of the people. It shall show its power in the elections,” he said.

In 2008 elections, JD(S) won three MP seats and Congress won six. It is irrelevant to discuss how Congress won the elections. Every one knows under whose shade it won the elections, he said.

Due to the BJP operation eight by polls have already been conducted. JD(S) has won three elections. Congress has not even won one.

Now the questioners should themselves answer where is their party in the state, he mocked.

Party State Wing Working President P G R Sindhya said that that Congress is shaken by the competition JD(S) is giving them in the by polls. Hence they are trying to defame the party.

The State government has failed to provide drinking water, good roads, he said explaining how the BJP government has failed.

MLA N Chelluvarayaswamy said that this election will decide the fate of any party. The Uttar Pradesh election results have proved that the National parties are not eligible to rule the nation, he said.

In case the JD(S) government comes to power in the state then it can solve the Bababudangiri issue peacefully, said former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy.

Campaigning for JD(S) candidate S L Bhojegowda at Joladhala village, he said that Congress uses Muslims only for the election purpose, hence they should not be elected by the people.Some Muslims in BJP are playing with the emotions of the people only with political instigations. The state government has not done much for the minorities, complianed Kumaraswamy.

He also requested the people to vote for JD(S) keeping the developmental works in mind that took place when he was the Chief Minister.
