Preetham Gowda will campaign for Prajwal in Hassan if required: Agarwal

BJP national general secretary and Karnataka in charge Radha Mohan Das Agarwal on Sunday said former BJP MLA and State general secretary Preetham Gowda will go to Hassan to campaign for JD(S) candidate (Prajwal Revanna) whenever it is required and added that there was no problem whatsoever in Hassan, as the party workers were working hard for the candidate’s victory.

Speaking to reporters in Mysuru, Mr. Agarwal said, while responding to questions on why Mr. Gowda was not campaigning in Hassan being a former MLA, and whether his hostility with Mr. Prajwal Revanna was the reason, he said Mr. Preetham Gowda is the party’s in-charge of Mysuru and Chamarajanagar parliamentary constituencies and he has to ensure the victory of the party candidates in the segments.

When this is the case, how could he go to Hassan ignoring his duties in Mysuru and Chamarajanagar. Moreover, his services are required in Mysuru and Chamarajanagar being in-charge than in Hassan since the BJP workers are already working in Hassan, he explained.
