You had been denied the JD(S) price ticket for a 2d consecutive time. Who do you suppose was responsible?
Even in 2013, I was an aspirant for the JD(S) price ticket for CR constituency, and was assured of profitable the election, however the birthday celebration gave the price ticket to Shankarlingegowda. This time, I was hoping the birthday celebration would choose me, however the price ticket was given to Rangappa. This is as a result of Krishnaraja Nagar MLA Sa Ra Mahesh.

What are schemes and benefits you're promising the folks?
The constituency has now not witnessed any development for many years now.

I want to absorb installation of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras to forestall unlawful activities.
What are your chances of profitable the election as an Independent candidate against those from the nationwide parties?
JD(S) believes it may win votes by means of spending cash, which shall be confirmed wrong. Rangappa is an intruder, and does now not have any give a boost to in the segment. There is anti-incumbency against Congress MLA Vasu, who has did not absorb development initiatives in the area. Even the BJP does now not have any give a boost to here. I've worked in the constituency for greater than a decade, and the folks will give a boost to me.
