Former Minister and JD(S) leader H.D. Revanna called upon his party workers not to lose hope following the party’s defeat in the recently-concluded Assembly elections.
Addressing a party workers’ meeting in Hassan on Tuesday, Mr. Revanna said the victory and loss were part of the elections. “We lost 20 seats by a thin margin. The party has seen ups and downs. It has the capacity to come back to power. In Hassan district, people of all castes and communities have voted for the party. We will continue to serve them.” he said.
Commenting on the party’s victory in Hassan constituency, Mr. Revanna said the person who had challenged him to win with a margin of not less than 50,000 had been defeated. The people of Hassan sent him back home. “I wish Swaroop would work for the welfare of people in the constituency as his father (H.S .Prakash) did,” he said.
