Hassan MLA Preetham J. Gowda of the BJP has said the workers of the party in his constituency were upset about Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai visiting former PM H.D. Deve Gowda’s residence after taking oath as Chief Minister of the state. Speaking to press persons in Hassan on Saturday, Mr. Preetham Gowda said he had been amidst party workers in the constituency and many of them had expressed their disappointment over the CM’s gesture. “The workers expected that Bommai would visit Siddaganga Mutt, Suttur Mutt, Sirigere Mutt or Adichunchanagiri Mutt after taking oath as CM. But he chose to visit Deve Gowda’s residence. This has certainly disappointed the workers, who fight day and night against the JD(S) to strengthen our party. We suffered when they threw stones at our residence”, he said. He was referring to an incident when JD(S) workers during a protest in front of his residence had thrown stones, leaving a BJP worker injured.More Related News
