Bengaluru: Strongly defending his decision to introduce his son Nikhil Kumaraswamy to politics as Janata Dal (Secular) candidate from party bastion Mandya, Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy (HDK) yesterday said that he was not the first person who had set such trend to project a family member in the State and the electoral history will speak for itself.
Kumaraswamy, who appeared upset over developments surrounding his son’s candidature from Mandya, charged that there was a systematic campaign against Nikhil’s candidature. Ever since HDK and his father JD(S) supremo H.D. Deve Gowda announced the party’s decision to field Nikhil from Mandya, the actor has been attracting trolls on social media.
