Mysore: The results of Urban Local Bodies (ULB) election that were announced yesterday has upset the JD(S) State President Adagooru H. Vishwanath as the party failed to garner maximum seats. Expressing his unhappiness at a press conference this morning in K.R. Nagar, he lashed out at Tourism Minister S.R. Mahesh. The JD(S) lost K.R. Nagar to the Congress.
Mincing no words, Vishwanath said that though he had insisted that Kuruba community leaders must be given tickets in K.R. Nagar Town Municipal Council as they have winning capacity and popularity, his words were not taken into consideration by Minister Mahesh. “Not even a single Kuruba was given a ticket. Though I am from Kuruba community, my suggestion was ignored and I tried speaking to Mahesh in the capacity of State JD(S) President but my suggestions were ignored,” he said.
