Mysuru: Scotching stories of the potential of his contesting the approaching meeting elections from Nanjangud reserved segment, Dalit leader, and vice-president of the BJP’s Karnataka unit V Srinivas Prasad on Wednesday introduced his retirement from electoral politics, and indicated that he may just soon quit lively politics too.
A memoir penned through Prasad on his political occupation spanning over four many years, with specific focus at the Nanjangud bypoll he contested closing year, and therefore misplaced, was released through former Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde on Wednesday. He dubbed the enjoy of the loss within the bypoll closing year as ‘aggravating’. “In my 45-year political occupation, I had no worries, nor did I am getting disappointed through bypolls. But the by-election to Nanjnagud disturbed me a lot. Chief minister Siddaramaiah misused the government equipment, and spent some huge cash at the election, which helped Congress win the segment,” Prasad mentioned.
Expressing dismay over the manner during which he claimed the CM attempted to get him defeated within the by-election, Prasad mentioned, “When we got CM to the Congress, we concept that, since he got here from a backward community, he would perform a little good paintings. But I was surprised when he went all out to defeat me within the election. It was misuse of power.”
Pointing to an unblemished record in his political occupation, he mentioned, “There have been no remarks or allegations towards me since my entry into politics in 1974. But I was pained through the manner during which I was removed from the cupboard. At the meeting of the council of ministers that was held sooner than I was dropped, my paintings was appreciated. But, after the meeting, they brought in Priyank Kharge in my place.”
Justice Hegde, meanwhile, mentioned that he held Prasad in high regard. “I appreciate the ones politicians who did not figure in any circumstances I oversaw all the way through my five-year tenure as Lokayukta. I appreciate them,” mentioned Hegde, adding that he was hoping to look Prasad continue in lively politics. “Those in quest of to go into politics should paintings under him,” mentioned the previous Lokayukta.
Hegde mentioned that the ache Prasad felt when the ones he concept had been close backstabbed him got here through within the e book. “Earlier, the government was for the folk and through the folk, but now the government has grow to be for some people,” he added.
Former minister and JD(S) MLA GT Devegowda was present at the ceremony.
