Bengaluru: Our party leaders and I will campaign in support of Sumalata Ambarish, who is contesting as an independent candidate from the Mandya Lok Sabha constituency, stated BJP state president and former Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa.
"As the chances of Sumalata's victory are growing, JDS activists, who are unable to digest the Sumalata's success, have pelted a stone at Darshan's house," he alleged.
"I will participate in canvassing for Sumalata. My party leaders and I will try to bring victory to Sumalata," Yeddyurappa added.
"It will be the happiest thing if Prime Minister Narendra Modi contests from Bangalore South. I am waiting for his confirmation," the BJP state president expressed.
