Exuding confidence that the JD(S) will again come to power during his lifetime, H.D. Deve Gowda, former Prime Minister and party supremo, said although he is still recovering, he has the strength to fight.
“I will soon visit every district in the State and every ward of Bengaluru to save our party. I will also participate in the party’s forthcoming executive committee meeting. I appeal to you with folded hands to save and build this party,” said an emotional Mr. Gowda, addressing JD(S) party workers at the valedictory of ‘Janata Mitra’ programme here on Saturday.
The former Prime Minister, who attended a public function after a long time, pointed out that former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy strived for 10 years to save the party. “I am confident that the party will come to power again. Mr. Kumaraswamy will again become Chief Minister. I still have the strength to fight and till my last breath I will not allow any injustice to happen to Karnataka,” said Mr. Gowda.
