‘Shettar sure to win; state will have Congress govt’: Congress activist writes note in blood
Hubballi: A Congress activist from Hubballi, Manjunath N Yantruvi, has expressed his trust in the party and its candidate from the Hubli-Dharwad Central constituency, Jagadish Shettar, by writing a note in his own blood. The note reads, "I am writing in blood that Hon’ble Jagadish Shettar will win 100 per cent. The state will have a Congress government this time. Jai Congress."
This display of loyalty comes in response to criticism from former Chief Minister and senior BJP leader, BS Yediyurappa, who had questioned Shettar's decision to switch from the BJP to the Congress after being denied a ticket this year. Yediyurappa had claimed that he was willing to write in blood that Shettar would lose the polls.
The upcoming Assembly elections in May have brought about a charged political atmosphere in Hubballi, with both the Congress and BJP vying for the support of the electorate. Manjunath N Yantruvi's display of loyalty to the Congress and its candidate is indicative of the high stakes involved in the polls.
