Mandya: Maintaining that all the seven JD(S) MLAs from Mandya are like bodyguards of Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, Minor Irrigation Minister C.S. Puttaraju, himself an MLA from the district, has asserted that the BJP cannot ‘purchase’ any JD(S) MLA from Mandya district.
Speaking to press persons after holding a progress review meeting at Ambedkar Bhavan in Malavalli town yesterday, he claimed that JD(S) was ready to make a much better offer to BJP MLAs if BJP leaders resorted to poaching MLAs from the ruling coalition.
