‘The Secular Emblem is down, come to Congress’: DK Suresh invites JDS members to his party
Bengaluru: The Congress candidate for Bengaluru Rural Constituency DK Suresh invited the JDS cadre to his party while addressing a press meet in the city on Friday. He said that as the lady in the symbol of the secular party had put down the hay, it was time for the JDS cadre to leave the party.
“I have worked hard in my constituency as a Member of the Parliament. I ask my people to pay the dues for my work by their votes. Dr Manjunath has made a personal decision to contest. If he was really a strong candidate, he should have stood under the symbol of JDS. So why is he contesting under the symbol of BJP?” DK Suresh questioned.
