Mysuru, Mar 23 : Senior BJP leader V Srinivas Prasad will be filing his nomination from the Chamarajanagar constituency on March 26.
Speaking newsmen on Saturday he said, ?Battle lines are drawn and I will not not rest until I win this election and strengthen the BJP. We will get 16 days for campaigning and the preparations are already on.?
He said NDA retain power as the Congress has become weaker and given away eight seats to JD(S) fearing backlash. The coalition government has a lot of issues. People are confident about BJP and the party will surely win more number of seats than last time, he said.
Mr Prasad, a former union and Karnataka minister had won from Chamarajanagara five times in the past and twice was an MLA, all from Congress party. Later he shifted to the BJP.
Responding to B S Yeddyurappa’s diary row, for union minister said this will have no impact and no one has taken it seriously as it was fake and concocted document. He said that the BJP too can make such allegations and they don’t want to stoop down to such level.
Responding to the teacher-student relationship between him and Dhruvanarayan, the sitting Congress MP, Mr Prasad said he was not in BJP and that means he was a political rival. But as a junior in politics, the personal relationship was not affected. But there is no such relationship in politics. It is the people who will decide everything in democracy and said there has been a lot of changes in politics in the last couple of years.
Referring to Mandya constituency, he said BJP had fielded a candidate and whether it would deeply affect the Congress or help independent candidate Sumalata, all steps have been taken according to a plan.
”BJP central leadership will take the final decision. The situation in Congress in Mandya is bad and they are suspending their party members. Our leaders will take the right decision at the right time,? he added.
