Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday said the BJP did not renominate incumbent MP Prathap Simha from Mysuru parliamentary constituency fearing defeat.
Addressing a gathering as part of Janadhwani-2 campaign for Congress candidate M. Lakshman in Madikeri, he said the BJP, owing to this fear, gave the ticket to Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar instead.
He alleged that none of the BJP MPs from the State fought for Karnataka’s interests, especially when the State was facing unprecedented drought and the Centre did not extend any help.
