The Hindu  

Former Chief Minister and Janata Dal candidate for Mandya Lok Sabha constituency H.D. Mr Kumaraswamy said the Congress leaders in the State have brought in Mr. Gandhi to defeat him in the elections since they have no strength to face him and therefore are holding a rally for Mr. Gandhi in Mandya. The people have already decided to support me for the development of the constituency and for the State,” the former Chief Minister said, while addressing an election campaign at K.R. Referring to Mr. Gandhi’s statement to fill up 30 lakh posts if the Congress comes to power at the Centre, he said Mr. Siddaramaiah and Mr. Shivakumar must first fill up over 2.75 lakh posts that are lying vacant in the State government before filling up posts in the country. Appealing for blessings, Mr. Kumaraswamy said, “I may have been born in Hassan and Ramanagara gave me political birth but Mandya gave me strength to remain in politics.”
