GTD expresses doubts over DKS entering poll-fray from Channapatna

The Hindu  

Former Minister and senior JD leader G.T. When his attention was drawn to Mr. Shivakumar’s recent statement that he would be the candidate for the by-poll from Channapatna if the party leadership wished so, Mr. Gowda made it clear that he would not believe the Deputy Chief Minister’s statement in the regard. “He may have tried to ask the voters whether they will vote for him if he contests,” Mr. Gowda said after making it clear that he was confident that Mr. Shivakumar will not contest from Channapatna Assembly constituency. The by-polls to the Channapatna Assembly constituency are expected to be a keenly fought electoral battle between the Congress and JD-BJP combine, said Mr. Gowda while indicating the prestige JD attaches to the constituency that had been represented by Mr. Kumaraswamy. As the chairperson of the party’s core committee, Mr. Gowda said he would announce the candidate only after a decision in the regard is made.
