Mysuru: After the JD(S) party workers meeting at a private hotel in city this morning, Mysuru District Minister G.T. Devegowda (GTD) reportedly said that JD(S) leaders will not be held responsible if coalition candidate C.H. Vijayashankar loses the election. He, however, denied the statement later and said that his words have been misconstrued.
When a reporter asked GTD if his party, the JD(S), would take the blame if Vijayashankar is defeated, GTD reportedly quipped, “Neither me nor Tourism Minister S.R. Mahesh will be responsible if such a thing happens. Did Siddharamaiah claim responsibility when A.H. Vishwanath (present JD(S) President) lost the MP election in 2014,” he asked.
