BJP MLC A.H. Vishwanath has called upon his party colleague to withdraw his words.
Taking serious exception to the personal allegations levelled by Minister S.T.Somashekar against candidates from rival political parties in the ensuing elections to the Legislative Council from local bodies’ constituencies, former Minister and BJP MLC A.H. Vishwanath has called upon his party colleague to withdraw his words.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Vishwanath said Mr. Somashekar should bear in mind that he is a member of the State Cabinet and added that allegations he had levelled against JD(S) candidate in Mysuru-Chamarajanagar constituency C.N. Manje Gowda and Congress candidate in Bengaluru Urban constituency Yusuf Shariff, also known as KGF Babu, did not behove a person occupying a ministerial berth in the State Government.
He wondered how he could make such personal allegations without any basis and said the charges had hurt the candidates of the rival parties immensely.
