Bengaluru, DHNS Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Congress State president G Parameshwara on Tuesday received a jolt with the ruling party putting up a poor show in their respective home districts – Mysuru and Tumakuru.
Congress candidate from Varuna zilla panchayat seat in Mysuru, Chandramma, was defeated by the BJP’s H R Prema. Siddaramaiah represents the Varuna Assembly constituency in the Legislative Assembly.
This is not all. The Congress failed to win a majority in the Mysuru zilla panchayat. Besides Siddaramaiah, two senior Cabinet Ministers V Srinivas Prasad and H C Mahadevappa represent Mysuru district.
In Tumakuru, the Congress managed to win only one of the four seats in Koratagere taluk. Parameshwara, who is also the Home Minister, used to represent the Koratagere Assembly constituency. He failed to win from Koratagere in the 2013 Assembly elections. Like Mysuru, the ruling party failed to get a majority in the Tumakuru zilla panchayat.
The party has to forge an alliance with the JD(S) in order to hold the reins of power in both Mysuru and Tumakuru zilla panchayat.
Speaking to reporters, Parameshwara admitted that the Congress should have done better in Tumakuru.
