DK brothers resolve dispute Between Yogeshwar-Raghunandan Ramanna
Bengaluru: Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and former MP D.K. Suresh have successfully mediated a truce between Raghunandan Ramanna, Chairman of the Bengaluru-Mysuru Infrastructure Corridor Area Planning Authority (BMICAPA), and Congress candidate C.P. Yogeshwar, following political developments that left Ramanna dissatisfied over the denial of a ticket for the Channapatna Assembly by-election.
On Tuesday morning, Shivakumar invited both leaders to his residence in Sadashivanagar, where, in the presence of D.K. Suresh, discussions were held. Following the meeting, the leaders exchanged handshakes, marking the resolution of their differences.
Raghunandan Ramanna expressed his support for Yogeshwar, committing to campaign for him and contribute to his victory. In the previous Lok Sabha elections, Ramanna had played a significant role in organising the Congress at the grassroots level within the Channapatna constituency. His efforts included bringing 14 JD(S) members and two BJP members from the Channapatna Municipal Council into the Congress fold, along with numerous BJP and JD(S) leaders and workers across the region.
These efforts helped Congress’s vote count increase from 15,000 in the last Assembly election to 87,000 in the Lok Sabha elections. Additionally, Ramanna contributed to securing various government developmental projects for the constituency. Now, he has pledged his support to campaign for Yogeshwar in the upcoming election.
