Hassan: In a tightly fought election for Hassan Assembly seat by JD (S)’ Swaroop H. P. and BJP’s Preetham Gowda, the JDS has got back its party epicentre. The whole Gowda family unitedly came out to campaign for Swaroop. And as icing on cake, Bhavani Revanna took personal interest to ensure Swaroop’s win by likening him to her own son despite her request for ticket being rejected.
BJP’s Preetham Gowda too had gone overboard and made personal attacks on Gowda family as well as challenged that he would win by margin of over one lakh.
BJP’s top leaders including Amit Shah had campaigned in Hassan hoping to regain its seat. However, the JD (S) has emerged as people’s choice.
It can be recalled here that in 2018 election, BJP’s Preetham Gowda had won from here.
