What happens to BJP’s strong fort in Ballari, asks Deve Gowda
Congress-JDS coalition victory
Bengaluru, November 6: “It is said Ballari is BJP’s strong fort. What happened now” former prime minister HD Deve Gowda asked BJP.
Speaking to reporters at his home at Padmanabhanagar in the city on Tuesday, Deve Gowda said that it was the result of combined efforts of the Congress and JDS leaders and workers. Because of the unity and hard work, the Congress-JDS coalition has won four seats out of five, he said thanking the voters for supporting the coalition government.
“We have fielded candidate for Shivamogga constituency in the last moment. If we have announced the candidate much earlier, we would have the chance to win it. I would accept the defeat by 50,000 margin of votes in Shivamogga constituency”, he said.
Forgetting the differences, the Congress and JDS leaders and workers have worked together. In coming Lok Sabha election also, the JDS would partner with the Congress. The tickets would be finalized only after taking all Congress leaders including AICC president Rahul Gandhi and local leaders into confidence, Deve Gowda said.
