My son Kanthesh will get Haveri ticket as promised by BS Yediyurappa: BJP leader KS Eshwarappa
Shivamogga: Former Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka and senior BJP leader KS Eshwarappa expressed faith in Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Parliamentary Board member BS Yediyurappa ensuring his son Kanthesh was selected as the party candidate from Haveri constituency for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing reporters in the city on Wednesday, Eshwarappa said, "I trust Yediyurappa to live up to his word to ensure that my son Kanthesh not only gets the party ticket from Haveri but also campaigns efficiently and wins the seat. If, however, my son Kanthesh is denied the Haveri ticket, I will discuss the matter with my supporters, who have called a meeting at the Banjara Bhavan in Shivamogga on Friday."
When asked about his son contesting the polls, Eshwarappa said that it was not only a matter of continuing his political legacy, but ensuring support to the BJP in future as well. "We are also trying to save the party by correcting the mistakes we had earlier committed," he added.
He said that he would not wish to contest the current election from Haveri and clarified, "My supporters have been urging me to contest. If a situation arises requiring me to do so, I will contest with the Shivamogga ticket, not Haveri."
