Deve Gowda, two grandsons will be defeated: BJP leader Manju in Hassan
Hassan BJP candidate A Manju said that JD(S) chief HD Deve Gowda's grandsons Nikhil Kumaraswamy and Prajwal Revanna will face defeat. That apart, he also said that the election battle in Tumakuru Lok Sabha seat will also be tough for HD Deve Gowda, who is contesting there. In an exclusive interview with MyNation, A Manju, who is contesting against Prajwal Revanna said, he is fighting against the family politics of Deve Gowda. And in this election, Modi's factor will help BJP win the Hassan seat. Manju hinted that this time Congress and JD(S) supporters will help him as people are fed up of the dynasty rule. After May 23, Manju said no one can prevent Modi from becoming PM again and predicted the collapse of the coalition government in Karnataka.
Bengaluru: Hassan BJP candidate in Karnataka is another Vokkaliga strongman. Former minister Arkalgudu Manju, who recently quit the Congress to join the BJP, in an exclusive interview with MyNation, said that in this election, both the grandsons of JD(S) chief HD Deve Gowda will lose and that Deve Gowda himself will face difficulty in Tumakuru constituency. Manju said he quit the Congress and joined the BJP to take on family politics of Deve Gowda and his sons, grandsons. In his opinion, none of the party workers are recognised, but are used and dumped by Gowda, who prefers only family members in power. He also said that Siddaramaiah prevented Manju from crossing over to the BJP. However, he said that he joined the BJP as supporters in the Congress, JD(S) too wanted someone to take on Deve Gowda. The Modi factor and voters' frustration against Deve Gowda would help him win the Hassan seat, Manju said. He also predicted the collapse of the government as about 18 legislators from the Congress and the JD(S) are in touch with the BJP, Manju said.
