Kumaraswamy has served as a minister under Narendra Modi’s leadership and has represented the Channapatna constituency. Naturally, the responsibility falls on him. With his leadership, we will win the election and raise the NDA flag."Gowda further stated that if a strong candidate is nominated, they would win Channapatna by a margin of at least 50,000 votes.He also mentioned that Kumaraswamy had shown interest in the Channapatna seat and that Yogeshwar’s exit had cleared the way for him. "Our role will be to strengthen Kumaraswamy," he clarified."Yogeshwar was a leader with influence and strength in the BJP. His departure from the party has personally caused pain. We had envisioned building the party in the Old Mysuru region with his influence and power. However, due to personal reasons, he left the party and joined another. He has disappointed the party's expectations," Gowda explained.He added that Kumaraswamy defeated Yogeshwara in the previous election, where Yogeshwara secured second place representing the BJP. “After Kumaraswamy became a Member of Parliament, Yogeshwar had a natural desire to become an MLA from the Channapatna constituency. However, when asked who is the winning candidate in Channapatna, it is clear that Yogeshwara had a strong chance of winning with 100 per cent certainty from the NDA,” Gowda stated.He said that in the upcoming by-elections, the NDA candidate’s victory from Channapatna is assured.--IANSmka/dan
