As the Old Mysore region where Vokkaligas are a dominant community goes to polls in another two days, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said on Tuesday that people who want him to be Chief Minister “won’t be disappointed”.
“I know you want me to become the Chief Minister. Your hopes won’t be belied. Vote for the son of your house. I will serve you,” he said. Mr. Shivakumar was campaigning in Harohalli, Bengaluru Rural constituency, for his brother D.K. Suresh.
The statement comes amidst a coalition between the JD(S), said to be a predominantly Vokkaliga party, and the BJP for the Lok Sabha elections.
