D.K. Suresh, Congress candidate in Bengaluru Rural constituency, on Thursday took a dig at cardiac surgeon C.N. Manjunath for his electoral entry through the BJP and asked if former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda’s son-in-law realised that the JD(S) was “not good enough” to contest Lok Sabha elections from against the Congress. Dr. Manjunath, nominated as BJP candidate from the BJP on Wednesday, will face Mr. Suresh in Bengaluru Rural.
Speaking to reporters here, Mr. Suresh, MP and brother of Deputy Chief Minister and KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar, said he was not surprised by the electoral entry of Dr. Manjunath, former director of Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology, Bengaluru.
