Former Deputy Chief Minister K.S. Eshwarappa, who has decided to contest as an independent candidate in Shivamogga Lok Sabha seat in Karnataka, has said that he will not change his decision even if Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits his home to convince him.
Interacting with his supporters at his residence in Shivamogga on March 21, Mr. Eshwarappa said he had made up his mind to contest and would not back off. “Some of you may have doubts about what would happen if Narendra Modi came to my house. Many have not come to my meetings because they have doubts. They are thinking that I might change my mind if some senior leaders speak to me, or leaders from the Sangha approach me. Let me make it clear, I will not let down my supporters who have stood by me. I will contest 100%,” he said.
