Mysuru: A day-long city BJP Executive Meet was held at Rajendra Kalyana Mantap on Ramanuja Road here yesterday. Speaking after inaugurating the meet, State BJP Vice-President and former Minister V. Sreenivasa Prasad (in pic) lashed out at the JD(S) for being cahoots with the Congress by not fielding its candidates for the Nanjangud and Gundlupet by-polls held last month.
Hitting out at the JD(S) and its leaders H.D. Deve Gowda and H.D. Kumaraswamy, Prasad ridiculed them for their inconsistent stand, which actually had helped the Congress. Questioning why the JD(S) did not field its candidate for the Nanjangud by-polls, when the party had received more than 40,000 votes in the 2013 polls, he said that while the JD(S) had taken the support of BJP for attaining power in Mysuru Taluk Panchayat (TP), Zilla Panchayat (ZP) and MCC, it (JD-S) had joined hands with the Congress in BBMP, which itself explains the opportunistic politics of the JD(S).
