Bengaluru: Even as Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy’s son Nikhil Kumaraswamy, who is making a political debut by contesting from Mandya Lok Sabha seat, has publicly announced that he was an eligible bachelor and would marry a girl from Mandya if there is an opportunity, rumours are rife that he will marry the daughter of Congress strongman D.K. Shivakumar from Kanakapura, over 40 kilometres from Mandya.
If reports from Bengaluru are to be believed, arch-rivals-turned-thick-friends CM H.D. Kumaraswamy (HDK) and D.K. Shivakumar (DKS) are looking at the possibility to bond their friendship further through this marriage. As an indication to this new-found bonhomie, Shivakumar was there when Nikhil filed his nomination papers from Mandya on Monday and had posed as one of the members of Kumaraswamy family.
