JD(S) poaches Cong's Altaf Khan, likely to field him against Zameer Ahmed Khan

News Network

April 1, 2018

Janata Dal (Secular) supremo H D Deve Gowda, who has vowed to defeat the seven former JD(S) MLAs (who migrated to the Congress) in the upcoming elections, has finally found a replacement to take on Muslim leader Zameer Ahmed Khan in Chamarajpet.

The JD(S) is said to have decided to field local Congress leader B K Altaf Khan against Zameer. Altaf, who was in the Congress for over two decades, will be officially joining the JD(S) on Monday. The JD(S) hopes to woo the over one lakh Muslim voters in the constituency, and thereby give a tough fight to Zameer.

The party was left hanging after Zameer, its sole influential Muslim leader, decided to revolt against the JD(S) leadership.

He, along with six other MLAs, was suspended after they cross-voted in favour of the Congress Rajya Sabha candidate K C Ramamurthy in 2016.

Though the Congress is yet to announce its candidates, it is pretty certain that Zameer will be fielded from Chamarajpet, a constituency which he has nurtured since 2004.

This has upset Altaf, who was aspiring for a Congress ticket from Chamarajpet. Incidentally, Altaf's wife Seema happens to be a Congress corporator from Jagajeevanram Nagar.

This will only benefit communal bjp. Congress and JD(S) fight is what bjp is looking for. BJP wants to divide votes of Muslims/Dalits/christians and gain out of it. I request voters to select and vote for a single candidate either from Congress or JD(s) and dont waste your valuable vote which will benefit communal party. Congress and JD(S) should keep aside their differences and fight their common enemy. Hope leaders of these parties will realise need of the hour and unite.

Use our money for corona patients. Dont waste tax payers money.

For Ayodhya pilgrims, Spend from your BJP looted money.

Our ruling govt is only interested in RAM Mandir and spending crores of rupees for the temple. Why the other community is not demanding fund from the GOVT?

Not bothered about the development of the country as currently we have no idea how to tackle the corona viurs. Ministers are keen on builing Guest house for pilgrims, Statue of RAM etc etc.

Please concentrate on how to minimise the Virus issue in KARNAKATA like other Gulf countries.
