Bengaluru, Nov 21: Former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy told reporters that he will not contact JD(S) MLA G T Devegowda to campaign for JD(S) candidate Somashekar, who is contesting for Hunsur Assembly by-poll.
“I welcome him, if he extends support on his own. But I will not contact him,” Kumaraswamy said.
The cold war between HD Kumaraswamy and G T Devegowda started a few months ago. The Chamundeshwari MLA had said that he has not quit JD(S) but will be distancing himself from the party events.
Meanwhile, Congress legislative party leader Siddaramaiah and BJP candidate A H Vishwanath had met G T Devegowda separately to seek his support in the by-elections. Sources reveal that Devegowda responded positively to Vishwanath.
