Chamaraja, one of the Assembly constituencies in Mysuru city having a large number of educated voters, has been witnessing a keen tussle with L. Nagendra, the sitting BJP MLA, seeking re-election putting forth the works done in last five years while Congress candidate K. Harish Gowda highlighted the works done during Siddaramaiah government besides his initiatives in individual capacity for helping the affected during COVID-19 pandemic and JD(S) candidate H.K. Ramesh stressed on former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy’s welfare and programmes for farmers.
All three candidates came together at the meet-the-press organised by the Mysuru District Journalists’ Association here on Friday, April 28, to share their strengths and the reason they should get elected. All three vowed to make efforts for restoring Mysuru’s heritage as many such properties are situated in the constituency.
Mr. Gowda felt that the voters are likely to bless him this time considering the works done in the constituency when Mr. Siddaramaiah was in power. “Chamaraja got a funding of over ₹1,800 crore that boosted health and education infrastructure.”
