Mysore/Mysuru: Accusing Party Legislators G.T. Devegowda and Sandesh Nagaraj of deliberately staying away from the Mayoral polls after striking a ‘deal’ with another party, JD(S) leaders of city and district have sought expulsion of the two Legislators from the party.
Addressing a press meet at Patrakarthara Bhavan here yesterday, City JD(S) President K.T. Cheluvegowda said that Party MLA from Chamundeshwari Constituency G.T. Devegowda (GTD) and MLC Sandesh Nagaraj were asked to vote for the JD(S) candidate in the Mayoral polls, but they allegedly hobnobbed with the BJP and stayed away from voting in gross violation of the party’s dictat. Accusing GTD of frequently changing his stand to suit his political game-plans, Cheluvegowda challenged GTD and MLC Sandesh Nagaraj to quit their posts and get re-elected again contesting as independents. Charging GTD of spreading lies regarding party matters, he urged the party top brass to immediately expel the two legislators, in the best interests of the party.
