Bengaluru, Feb 14: Former Prime Minister and JD-S Supremo H D Deve gowda on Sunday called upon the party workers and leaders to save the regional party in the state in upcoming elections.
Speaking after inaugurating a JD-S conference here, he said that it was up to the workers who have to strive hard to win more seats in the coming elections besides strengthening the party across the state.
He said "I can only guide you and it would not be possible to travel all over the place. I can advise and give suggestions to you to do so. We have put up a strong fight in upcoming Karnataka local body elections which are very important to us. We need to prove that we have not fallen behind.
He said “We have to show what our strength is in the coming elections. Even a small difference could make a difference while allocating a seat. Please do not shake your head about it. We all need to work in unity. Our party should win the next election and save our regional party in this state which is needed at this hour.
Speaking on the occasion former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy said when his party did not file any candidates who the congress was so worried and feared including the leader of the opposition.
He said "I don't have a soft voice about the BJP. There is no soft attitude towards any party. Those who claimed that the JDS was not a party in the state should make again and again statements.
JDS will contest by-elections in three constituencies - Muski, Sindagi and Basavakalyan. H D Kumaraswamy announced that we will field a candidate from JDS in three areas.
He also explained how he worked in the Congress-JDS coalition government all through the tenure and there was a lot of pressure on him from the Congress leaders for every issue.
He said no one can eliminate the JD-S in the state which has their own strength and fight for all upcoming elections in the state .
He called upon the workers to lose their hope and time will come for everyone and winning and losing are quite normal in the elections, however, do not be disheartened, he added.
