Mysore/Mysuru: Raghu R. Kautilya, BJP candidate for the MLC election in the Mysuru-Chamarajanagar seat, who lost the post in the last minute said that he would accept defeat and own up responsibility. “But I will wage a legal battle,” he said.
Raghu lost the elections during the elimination round and that round paved the victory of JD(S) candidate Manjegowda. “I have extensively toured the Constituency and met all the electorate for over a year and I had constant contact with all BJP MLAs and MPs and the District Minister. All had cooperated with me and I was confident of winning the polls in the first preferential vote,” he said.
