Bengaluru:  Has GT Devegowda spoken the bitter truth? In what comes as utter frustration for HD Kumaraswamy and the JD(S), their own party man GT Devegowda has said that loyal JD(S) workers have voted for the BJP due to differences at the local level.

Within minutes after this confession by GT Devegowda, BJP MLA CT Ravi went on to add that many others have confirmed the change in the voting pattern in favour of the BJP.

Later in the day, Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, who is relaxing in Udupi, got into a state of frenzy as he heard the statements of his colleague GT Devegowda. Immediately, he asked the hotel staff to switch on all media channels, and ordered them to install more television sets to watch more channels.
