JD(S) leaders including former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy trained their guns on estranged partyman and Chamundeshwari Assembly MLA G.T. Deve Gowda at an election campaign meeting in Mysuru on Saturday.
Mr Gowda, who continues to remain a JD(S) MLA, has maintained a distance from the party leadership for more than two years now, but is cosying up to former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and announced his plans to join the Congress before the next Assembly elections.
Referring to claims that Mr. Gowda had warned party workers from Chamundeshwari against attending the JD(S) meeting in Mysuru on Saturday as part of the campaign to seek votes for C.N. Manje Gowda, the party candidate in ensuing elections to Legislative Council, Mr Kumaraswamy said workers cannot be cowed down by such threats. They have already proved several times earlier that they cannot be browbeaten by such threats, he added.
