Congress candidate Madhu Made Gowda’s triumph in the elections to the Legislative Council from the South Graduates constituency was termed by Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) Working President R. Dhruvanarayan as a “gift” to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Speaking to reporters in Mysuru on Thursday, he referred to Mr. Modi’s reported suggestion that unemployed youth should sell “pakodas” for a living and said the result of the elections was a ‘gift’ to the Prime Minister, who is incidentally scheduled to visit Mysuru for the International Day of Yoga on June 21.
During the run-up to the elections in the constituency, which is spread across Mysuru, Mandya, Hassan and Chamarajanagar, BJP leaders were optimistic that their candidate M.V. Ravishankar will win the seat.
