Bangalore: DVS plans to refrain from fighting Lok Sabha election


Bangalore: DVS plans to refrain from fighting Lok Sabha election

Daijiworld Media Network – Bangalore (SP)

Bangalore, Feb 26: Frustrated at not getting the parliamentary constituency of his choice, and pained at the bitter opposition to his candidature form the leaders of the party belonging to the constituency allotted to him, former state chief minister, D V Sadananda Gowda (DVS), it is learnt, is seriously considering the option of staying aloof from fighting this election.

Highly places sources in the party have informed that DVS plans to lay bare his mind in front of BJP national president, Rajnath Singh, when the latter visits the city on Wednesday February 25. At the same time, some feel this might be a political gimmick being employed by DVS to get ticket for the constituency of his choice.

Although DVS was hell bent on being fielded from Bangalore (north) constituency, he failed to get the nod, as party strongman and former deputy chief minister, R Ashok, stuck to the demand not to field outsiders from this constituency. As such, DVS was allotted Mysore constituency, but there has been revolt against his candidature from several quarters there, it is gathered. This has created a dilemma in the mind of DVS.

DVS is likely to moot a proposal to get involved with campaigning for the party without fighting the election. He may, however, fall in line with the suggestion made by the party president, party sources said. Some insiders feel that this is a tactic employed by DVS to pressurize the party to reconsider its stand and allot him Bangalore (north) constituency, as Ashok has already clarified that he will not fight the coming Lok Sabha election. Further, it is said that Malleshwaram MLA, Ashwathnarayana, whom the party proposes to field from here, has told the party leaders that he will fight the election only if the party promises to reimburse to him entire poll-related expenses. This has given hope for new possibilities, and DVS sees a ray of hope in these developments.

At the same time, signs emanating from Congress party indicated that state president of the party, Dr G Parameshwar, has expressed his support for minister, Krishna Byre Gowda, from Bangalore (north) constituency, and asked other leaders to support Gowda’s candidature during the internal election scheduled to be held shortly. If Gowda is disinclined to fight the election, C Narayana Swamy is planned to be chosen for this constituency, it is gathered.

    @ Kadri toll gate Rajiv
    Why can't DVS win Mysore constituency??? Has he not done anything for Mysore, when he was CM of the state??? Is he afraid to contest from other part of the state, because he had ignored them during his tenure as CM???
    If BJP ask Nalin kateer or Yogish Bhat to contest from Mysore, it is not fair, but not DVS.

    I agree with you Wilfred Fernandes, Vamadapadavu/Dubai. It was DVS who actually released our Christian brothers from the Jail and cancelled the court cases during the church attacks. yeddy only promised the world, BUt never implemented the words promised by him. It was DVS who got the cases ped and got our youngsters released from prisons. I salute him for this great deed. Another thing, during his rule, there has not been any corruption leading to any accusation against him. Unlike yeddy.

    BJP KNOWS DVS BACKSTABBED HIS CLOSE BSY AND COULD NOT BE BELIEVED.
    MR. KATEEL IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO CAN WIN MANGALORE AND IF BJP OPTS FOR A CHANGE HAS TO PAY FOR THAT MATTER.
    THOSE WHO ARE BEHIND THE SCREEN TO OUTST BSY FROM PARTY AND BJP FROM THE STATE ARE LIKE "UNKNOWN ANGELS"

BJP is an opportunist and an expert in backstabbing its leaders who have worked for build the party. The same thing they did with Advani.
    Now DVS & Nalin will contest with JDS ticket from Udupi & Mangalore.

    They know very well where their roots are strong and where they have poisoned the minds of people with Funda'mentalism'. so they know outside the boundaries they will lose. They shouldn't be afraid to be fielded from anywhere if they are honest and trust their good works.

    Don't think DVS is running away from Udupi. He is looking at some better places where he can easily serve people. You have a blind assumption that he is fearing loss in Udupi-Chickmangalur. Ideally, any simple candidate from BJP will win here. If DVS contests, BJP will win with more than 1 lakh votes. So stop your feku idea and come to reality.

    Udupi-Chickmangalur is very wide constituency starting from Hosadurga in Chidraurga district to Kundapur in Udupi district, which spread across a span of more than 350 Kms. So an MP has to travel this much distance in a single constituency. That is why he is looking alternative. This was reported by TOI yesterday

    If DVS is targeting only urban areas to serve & not able to serve rural and vast areas, he is not fit to be in politics.
