Bengaluru: Nikhil Kumaraswamy, the JD(S) candidate from Ramanagara constituency for the upcoming Assembly election, broke down when he found his grandfather and JD(S) Supremo HD Deve Gowda to be unwell.

Nikhil, son of former Chief Minister and senior JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy, visited Deve Gowda at the former Prime Minister’s residence in the city on Monday, to receive the B-Form to file his nomination.

Finding Deve Gowda’s health condition to be poor, Nikhil broke down.

He was accompanied by Kumaraswamy, his mother Anitha and wife Revathi during the visit.

In the 2018 Assembly elections, Kumaraswamy had won from both Ramanagara and Channapatna constituencies. He continued as Channapatna MLA, resigning as Ramanagara MLA. His wife Anitha contested from JD(S) and won the bypoll for the Ramanagara seat, following his resignation.

This year, as Anitha confirmed that she would not contest the elections, the JD(S) has given the Ramanagara ticket to Nikhil Kumaraswamy.
