Mysuru: Former Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) Chairman and BJP leader H V Rajiv expressed his strong desire to contest from Krishnaraja Assembly constituency on BJP ticket.
Speaking to mediapersons here on Monday, he said that last time too he had sought a ticket from the BJP.
“But I am hoping that the party will consider my pleas this time,” he added.
Blaming S A Ramadas, who is the current MLA of the constituency of not doing anything for the Muguru Brhamin community – to which both Ramadas and Rajiv belong to -Rajiv said that many of the community leaders have expressed their unhappiness over Ramadas.
“I have seen their complaints in the media. If the party offers me a ticket, I am confident of winning and working for the community and the people here,” he said.
It may be recalled here that when BJP veteran B S Yeddyurappa had quit the party for a brief time and formed a new party – KJP – Rajiv had contested the 2013 Assembly elections on KJP ticket from K R Constituency and had polled over 10,000 votes resulting in the defeat of Ramadas.
However, now, Yeddyurappa has gone back to BJP and so also Rajiv and the rest is history.
