Speaking on Former Deputy CM K S Eshwarappa’s rebellion against the party, Gowda said that he had advised Eshwarappa to take a joint delegation of all disgruntled leaders to the high command. “He has already made his decision known. I don’t want to comment on that”, he added.
“Only my name came up in the survey conducted to select a candidate for Bengaluru North. I was promised a ticket, but no one came to me at the end. I have been watching certain developments that have happened in Delhi and the state”, Sadananda Gowda said.
