Taking word of the unrest in the Basavakalyan unit of BJP after the social gathering ticket was denied to the native aspirants and given to Kalaburagi-based Sharanu Salagar, Housing Minister V. Somanna stated that he would speak to all of the aspirants who have been disadvantaged of the chance to contest the byelection on the social gathering ticket and persuade them to work for the official social gathering candidate.
Speaking to media representatives at Kalaburagi airport on Monday, Mr. Somanna stated that he was not conscious of the social gathering’s issues in choosing Mr. Salagar although there have been over 16 aspirants in Bidar district.
“I don’t know why Mr. Salagar was preferred over local aspirants. Once the party decided to field Mr. Salagar, all the rank and file need to work hard for his victory. I, however, would talk to all the dissidents, especially Mallikarjun Khuba who was a strong contender for the ticket. I am sure that all of them would be convinced,” Mr. Somanna stated.
Asked about former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy’s allegations that BJP nationwide leaders have been paid an enormous quantity of cash in return for the social gathering’s ticket to the Basavakalyan section, Mr. Somanna stated that such baseless allegations do crop up on the time of elections.
