Kanakapura (Karnataka) [India], November 24 (ANI): Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Sunday assured that all the promises made to the people of Channapatna before the by-election would be fulfilled.
Speaking to the media in Kanakapura, he said, "The Congress government would fulfil the aspirations of the people of Channapatna. We will fulfil all our promises, including issuing sites and residences which were made before the election."
"We listened to the problem of the people of Channapatna after the seat was vacated. The people have blessed us now, and we will repay that debt through developmental works. District in-charge minister Ramalinga Reddy has undergone leg surgery. Before we go for the winter session of the Assembly in Belagavi, we will hold a meeting to discuss and initiate all our promises. We had secured 15,000 votes in the previous assembly elections, but the tally had gone up in the Lok Sabha elections. We have gotten a lot of votes in this election as we have received direct and indirect support from JD(S) workers and leaders. We will develop the constituency, taking everyone into confidence," he said on the development of Channapatna.
"This is not a victory that belongs to one or two. This is a result of combined efforts by all. It is not important who is the CM. Development is important for us. Kumaraswamy did not keep his promises. We will have to develop the constituency and show him how it's done."
The Congress won all three Assembly by-polls in Karnataka, Shiggaon, Sandur, and Channapatna, defeating two BJP candidates and a JD(S) candidate.
Congress' Yasir Pathan defeated former CM Basavraj Bommai's son in Shigagaon, while BJP turncoat CP Yogeshwara defeated HD Kumaraswamy's son Nikhil by a massive margin in Channapatna.
Congress candidate Annapoorna Tukaram accepted the winning certificate from the returning officer after securing 93,616 votes, defeating BJP's Bangara Hanumantha by 9,649 votes in Sandur. (ANI)
