Deve Gowda has this to say regarding Sumalatha's election plans
Mangaluru: JDS National President and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda on Sunday held a press conference at the MLC office here during his visit to the city. He told reporters that the party has sought 12 out of 28 seats of the state from Congress but it is not the final demand and there can be room for relaxation.
“Leaders from both the parties will meet in Delhi and discuss the seat sharing. We have sought 12 seats but that doesn’t mean it is our final demand. There will be discussions and negotiations. There is no confusion in the coalition and seat sharing and we will not allow dissent as well” he said.
Speaking about Sumalatha Ambareesh contesting from Mandya, he added “Sumalatha demanding to contest from Mandya is natural. But JDS dominance has increased in Mandya and Hassan and I think Congress leaders understand this. From where I contest is not important I haven’t made a decision as yet”.
“Party workers and activists from Chikkaballapur are urging me to contest from their constituency, but not decision has been made yet. MP Veerappa Moily has indicated that they will give us 10 out of 28 seats, so we will see which seats they give us. Based on that decisions on candidates will be made” he added.
“People of Mandya and Hassan also want Nikhil and Prajwal to contest from their respective constituencies. We also need to understand the feelings of people while deciding the candidate” he further added.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for ‘Congress Mukt Bharat’ (Congress free India) is meaningless and has no vision. We don’t need to learn about patriotism from Narendra Modi. People now understand what Modi has done for the country in last five years” Deve Gowda added while taking a dig at Modi.
After the press conference Deve Gowda handed over the salary of MLC BM Farooq to the poor families and also felicitated the newly appointed Grand Mufti AP Ustad.
