Ex PM Deve Gowda's daughter-in-law sticks to her stand to contest from Hassan

JD leader H D Kumaraswamy on Monday said there is no change in his stand regarding selection of candidate for the Hassan seat, for the May 10 Assembly polls in Karnataka and that his father and party patriarch H D Deve Gowda would take a final decision on this. Ex PM Deve Gowda's daughter-in-law sticks to her stand to contest from Hassan Bhavani Revanna, a former Hassan zilla panchayat member, is the wife of Kumaraswamy's elder brother and former Minister H D Revanna, and has the backing of her husband and son Prajwal and Suraj Revanna, who are Member of Lok Sabha from Hassan and a MLC respectively, who have rallied behind her. As I have already said, there is no change in my stand on the Hassan issue, once Deve Gowda returns, it will be decided," Kumaraswamy said. Hassan is the home district of Deve Gowda and the party in 2018 Assembly polls had won in six out of seven segments other than the Hassan assembly seat, which BJP's Preetham Gowda had won, making it the first ever win for the saffron party in the Vokkaliga dominated district.
