Will not contest upcoming Lok Sabha election: HD Devegowda
Bengaluru, Jan 05: I had become the Prime Minister of this country through pro-people struggle and development. I have seen victories and defeats several times. I will not contest the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections to strengthen the party and transform youth activists as leaders, said JD (S) national President HD Devegowda.
Speaking to reporters at JP Bhavan on Saturday, he said, "All the regional parties in the country are uniting and they have developed to such an extent that development is possible only through them.
"I have worked hard to build the JDS party. Far from power, I will strive to transform party workers to leaders and to strengthen the party from the root level. Hence, I will not contest Lok Sabha polls anymore," he said.
