DK Shivakumar and DK Suresh purchased BJP candidate : BSY

Shikaripur: BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa  launched a scathing attack on opposition party leaders namely Minister DK Shivakumar and his brother DK Suresh accusing them of using money power to win over BJP candidate Chandrashekar into the Congress fold.

Addressing press persons  here on Thursday, November 1, Yeddyurappa said that Chandrashekar has not only betrayed BJP but also the people of the state. He further added that he will pray to god to bless Chandrashekar.

MLC Ayanur told that Operation Congress was done fearing that Anitha Kumaraswamy might be defeated by BJP candidate in the by-election.

Remarkably Chandrashekar, son of Congress MLC CM Lingappa had quit the Congress to join BJP, just a fortnight ago, reportedly over the party decision to give up the Ramanagara constituency to JD(S).
