No one can stop G T Devegowda’s re-election from Chamundeshwari
“No one can stop JD(S) candidate G T Devegowda from winning Chamundeshwari constituency. Developmental works undertaken during the tenure of former chief minister H D Kumarswamy and the attractive manifesto of the party will really help him to get more votes”, opined Ranganath.
He also said that both Congress and BJP had failed to protect the interests of the people, and that the only alternative remaining for the state was JD(S).
