Yediyurappa has assured him of fulfilling the Maratha community’s demands and that is why he is withdrawing from the contest to facilitate the victory of the BJP candidate.

How could he take the decision to withdraw from the contest without consulting the community leaders when he was the candidate of not just the NCP, but also the entire Maratha community? Mr. Muley has betrayed the community and sold himself to the BJP,” mentioned Narayan Ganesh, district convenor of Sakala Maratha Kranti Morcha.
