Congress leaders now travelling on roads built by my father, says Bharath Bommai

Bharat Bommai campaigns in Shiggaon, highlighting his father's work as MLA and Chief Minister, seeking support for BJP.

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.

The Opposition party nominee is seeking election to the Shiggaon-Savanur seat vacated by his father after his election to the Lok Sabha.

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.

He and his mother Channamma Basavaraj Bommai campaigned in villages such as Tavarmellahalli, Kuni Maralihalli, Alasur and Hosa Alasur.

They spent a large part of the day campaigning in Shiggaon Assembly Constituency visiting houses of workers, seeking votes door-to-door and doing a roadshow on an open van.
