Bengaluru, Feb 25: Prajwal Revanna, who had exposed the ‘bucket culture’ and ‘suitcase culture’ within Janata Dal (Secular), and coaxed the party supremo H D Deve Gowda to make him the state general secretary of the party, is now all set to contest the upcoming assembly polls in spite of Despite his uncle and JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy’s strong opposition to his candidature.
After maintaining a low profile for the last two months, Prajwal, much to the chagrin of Kumaraswamy, has restarted building ground in Rajarajeshwari Nagar (RR Nagar) constituency in Bengaluru, from where he is hopeful of making poll debut.
Deve Gowda had earlier made it clear that the party would not field Prajwal. Sources said Gowda however had a change of heart after the latter threatened to make matters worse for the party.
On Friday, the JD(S) circles were abuzz with speculations after Prajwal was spotted in the constituency, going through the voters' list. The youngster had rarely entered RR Nagar after Gowda appointed him as the party general secretary.
He had, however, registered his protest against the party leadership by absenting himself from all the major events of the party in the last few weeks. But, with the elections fast approaching, Prajwal has decided to not lie low anymore.
He told media persons that he had visited the constituency to call upon families of the two JD(S) youths who had died recently. "It's true that I was in the constituency. But, I was only visiting the families of the deceased JD(S) workers. I did meet a few leaders, but I did not go around campaigning," he said.
Udupi, Jan 4: A 37-year-old Udupi district JD(S) spokesperson allegedly committed suicide at his residence here last night, police said on Saturday.
