Former CM H.D. Kumaraswamy camped in Mysuru and ensured the unity of party councillors, Mr. Gowda said.
Former Prime Minister and Janata Dal (S) supremo H.D. Deve Gowda on Monday lashed out at the Congress for the alleged bid of leaders of that party to poach JD(S) councillors in order to get the Mayor’s post in the hung Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) council. This attempt failed and so the Congress leaders supported the JD(S) candidate to keep the BJP out of power, he said.
