Amidst the Mayoral poll political activities, Rajini Annaiah of the Congress, who has been declared the party’s candidate for the by-poll from MCC Ward 36 (Yaraganhalli and Ambedkar Colony) scheduled to take place on Sept.3, met Chamundeshwari MLA G.T. Devegowda who has been elected on a JD(S) ticket, but has stayed away from party activities since about two years, here yesterday and sought his support in the by-poll.
Soon after getting the Congress party B form from Opposition Leader Siddharamaiah on Thursday, Rajani Annaiah is said to have visited the residence of GTD and sought his blessings, which has given rise to speculations on whether the Chamundeshwari MLA will extend his support to the Congress candidate, instead of the JD(S) candidate in the by-poll.
