While BJP’s Mysuru MP Pratap Simha and party MLAs S.A. Ramdas and L. Nagendra had locked horns over the piped cooking gas project, JD (S) MLA G.T. Deve Gowda was engaged in a tiff with newly elected party MLC C.N. Manje Gowda.
It all happened when Mr. Manje Gowda turned up for the foundation stone saying ceremony for the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadaj Yojane at Goruru village in Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency in Mysuru on Friday, which was attended by Mr. Deve Gowda and Mr. Simha.
After Mr. Deve Gowda, who has distanced himself from the JD (S), reportedly took objection to Mr. Manje Gowda’s presence at the function, the latter hit out at the former for questioning his participation in a “government function” though he was a duly elected MLC.
