JD(S) Youth Wing president Nikhil Kumaraswamy became all teary-eyed and emotional on Thursday while talking about how Ramanagara district gave political birth to his father, H.D. Kumaraswamy, and that his family would be grateful to the people of the district till their last breath.
“If my father has earned anything, it is the love of people of Ramanagara district,” he said while addressing a joint convention of the BJP-JD(S) coalition in Ramanagara after cardiologist C.N. Manjunath, BJP candidate for Bengaluru Rural Lok Sabha constituency, filed his nomination papers. He recalled that even his grandfather H.D. Deve Gowda had become Chief Minister after getting elected from the Ramanagara Assembly seat.
He again became emotional while referring to his defeat in the previous Assembly election from Ramanagara and asked people in a choked voice, “What mistake did I commit to suffer this? Have I disrespected anyone or is there anything wrong with my behaviour?”
