State BSP President Hari Ram, addressing media persons at the Press Club here on August 24, said, “The candidates who have been selected to contest in 12 different wards are the locals involved in working for the ward for the past couple of years. Based on their good work in their respective wards, we have given a ticket to contest in the election. At the outset, Mysuru looks too good but a lot needs to be done inside. Soon after getting elected in the election, our candidates will lay more emphasis on overall development of the city.”
