Mysuru: Claiming that it was he who brought A.H. Vishwanath to JD(S), Tourism Minister S.R. Mahesh said that he was now very much regretting his decision.
Addressing a press meet at his office on Rama Vilas Road here this morning, Mahesh said that Vishwanath, who was sidelined by the Congress, was brought to the JD(S) by him despite severe opposition from several party leaders. Maintaining that he gave a re-birth of sorts to Vishwanath, who was staring at political oblivion, by recommending a JD(S) ticket from Hunsur Assembly segment, over looking the bid by young JD(S) leaders Prajwal Revanna and G.D. Harish Gowda, Mahesh said that he (Mahesh) himself was to blame for the present situation of the Coalition Government, as Vishwanath along with two other JD(S) MLAs have resigned.
