Ramanagaram, Apr 6: In an apparent attempt to lure journalists ahead of Karnataka assembly polls, a leader of Janata Dal (Secular) on Friday promised sites for media persons if the party state president H D Kumaraswamy becomes chief minister.

Speaking at a press meet, Rajashekhar, JD(S) taluk unit president, said that plan to allot sites to local journalists was pending for quite a while and the assurance would be fulfilled if Kumaraswamy was elected from Ramanagaram constituency and becomes chief minister. 

Other party leaders with him were shocked by his blooper. Rajshekar tried to correct himself later, but the damage had been done. He said that Kumaraswamy would contest from both Ramanagaram and Chennapatna and would resign from the Chennapatna seat if he wins in both constituencies. Even this remark, embarrassed other leaders there.
