Ramalinga Reddy, one of Bengaluru city’s senior Congress leaders, seven-time MLA and four-time Minister, is considered the “face of the Congress” in the city. He has served in the ministries of M. Veerappa Moily, S.M. Krishna, N. Dharam Singh and Siddaramaiah.
Mr. Reddy, in an interview to The Hindu, expressed confidence that Congress will win in Karnataka to form a government on its own.
As a senior Congress MLA from Bengaluru, what is your assessment of the performance of the party in the city this time?
We are confident that all incumbent MLAs (15) of Congress will win the election this time too. Apart from this, we can get another three to four seats in Bengaluru. Our party workers have been working hard at the grassroots level, because of which, Congress candidates will win with more margin compared to both 2013 and 2018. Bengaluru is a cosmopolitan city, and BJP’s caste, religion, politics and money will not work here. All this will help our party to win the election.
