Tumkur: JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda is expected to contest from Tumkur Rural Assembly constituency and the party leaders have already begun campaigning for Deve Gowda, informed sources.

Addressing presspersons in this regard former MLA H Ningappa said that they have pressurized Deve Gowda to contest from Tumkur Rural Assembly.

“If Deve Gowda contests from Tumakuru Rural Assembly he will win with a thumping majority,” he added.

As Deve Gowda is more likely to contest from Tumkur Rural Assembly constituency local leaders have already started campaigning for Deve Gowda, informed sources.

It is gathered that Tumkur Rural JD(S) MLA DC Gowrishankar threw parties for his supporters on Sunday, March 17 night in the expectation that Deve Gowda will be contesting from Tumkur.

This decision of the JDS party comes after Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara requested the JD(S) to return Tumkur seat to the Congress if former prime minister H D Deve Gowda is not contesting from the constituency.
