Chikkaballapura: Former CM and Union minister Veerappa M Moily, urged the Vokkaliga voters, who make up the majority in his constituency Chikkaballapura, to support him to ensure the safety of the state government led by H D Kumaraswamy.
Addressing a party rally, he stated that if he is defeated, it will put pressure on the HDK government. “Vokkaligas should not cast their votes by looking at the face of the local candidate. They need to understand the state and national politics and vote tactfully,” he said.
In the Chikkaballapura Lok Sabha constituency, Congress leader Moily will face senior BJP leader Bachche Gowda, a Vokkaliga strong man.
