BJP candidate for Varuna V. Somanna on Tuesday, May 2, promised to develop Varuna constituency on the lines of Govindaraj Nagar in Bengaluru. “Give me five years to serve you and you can see the development that I will bring to Varuna like I brought to Govindaraj Nagar constituency. When you can give 15 years to former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his son (Dr. Yathindra) to represent the constituency, cannot you give five years to me,” he told an election rally in Varuna.
Making the pledge in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and former CM B.S. Yediyurappa at the rally, Mr. Somanna said Varuna lacked development since its formation, 15 years ago. “I can bring development of the last 15 years in the next five years if I am elected. I am asking for just one opportunity to be Varuna’s representative,” he claimed.
