Chamarajanagara: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President D. K. Shivakumar said that according to our report, the Congress Party will win in Kollegala Assembly Constituency this time. He said that present MLA N. Mahesh can’t win even if he stands upside down.

Addressing the gathering after inaugurating the Congress Prajadhwani Yatra in Kollegala, he said MLA N. Mahesh’s political final journey has begun. There are three Congress ticket aspirants and he suggested that no one should pull anyone’s leg. He said that N Mahesh has joined the party that says they will change the Constitution. ‘I am very sad that Mahesh has joined the Party that says they will change the Constitution, leaving behind the ideology he believed in, the movement he led, and Mayawati’s leadership. Mahesh, who has joined BJP has not been given ministerial post by the State BJP leadership. Further, he has not done any developmental work in Constituency. Therefore, it is evident he would lose election,” he said

He further said that Kollegala BJP ticket aspirant G. N. Nanjunda Swamy would join the Congress. Shivakumar revealed that he has already held discussions with All India Congress Committee President Mallikarjuna Kharge. He will talk to me in a few days. He said Nanjundaswamy had told that Congress is last stop of his political journey. Our government is sure to come to power. There are three ticket aspirants from Cogress in Kollegala. But only one could get ticket and other two aspirants should not be disappointed. We will provide suitable position after party comes to power, he said.

Former MLA A. R. Krishnamurthy appealed to people to give him a chance and bless him in the next Assembly election. He said in last election, “I lost by one vote, while R. Dhruvanarayan won by one vote, and thus the whole country knew the price of one vote, he said and urged give him a chance this time.
