Congress leaders who are now campaigning in the various villages of Shiggaon Assembly Constituency are travelling on roads built by my father and BJP MP Basavaraj Bommai, BJP candidate Bharat Bommai said in Shiggaon on Sunday.

Bharath Bommai said that he has witnessed a groundswell of support for him and his party. Hundreds of youths are joining the BJP in several villages.
That is all because of my father’s work as an MLA and Chief Minister. Even the cement concrete roads that the Congress candidate and others are travelling on for campaigning were built by my father, he said.
He said that he was an avid cricketer and is fighting the elections with a desire to winning it. “I am a batsman and I keep scoring centuries. We don’t play T20 or One-Day matches. we play Test matches. Our innings are always long,” he said.
