Pradeep Eshwar asserts on contesting from Kolar in bid to defeat BJP’s incumbent MP S. Muniswamy
Bengaluru: Congress MLA Pradeep Eshwar during a press conference here at Devanahalli on Tuesday termed incumbent Kolar MP Sadappa Muniswamy as a mental client and asserted on contesting against him from the Kolar seat and defeating him in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
“A mental client held power in Kolar, his name is not something to be remembered. He recently came to Chikkaballapur and spoke insincerely, I will give him a befitting reply by defeating him in Kolar in the upcoming elections,” he added.
Eshwar alleged that his contribution to the constituency as an MP is null. He stated that he will contest from the Kolar seat to defeat him this time and also mentioned that nothing has happened in the constituency except for the development works done by K.H Muniyappa who was the Kolar MP for almost three decades.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
