Siddaramaiah dubs BJP's loss in Hangal as Chief Minister Bommai's defeat
Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said the defeat of the BJP candidate in Hangal assembly bypoll is actually the defeat of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai as the constituency falls in his home constituency. In the October 30 bypolls to two assembly constituencies, counting for which was held today, the BJP's Ramesh Bhusanur won the Sindagi seat while in Hangal, which is in Chief Minister's home district Haveri, Congress candidate Srinivas Mane won the election defeating BJP's Shivaraj Sajjanar.
In a set of tweets, the Congress stalwart targeted the BJP. "In the Hangal election, the actual BJP candidate was Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai. The BJP lost in his home district. The fact is that the people have discarded him despite his emotional talks such as 'I am the son of the soil', 'I will die here' and 'I am the son-in-law of this area'," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
He also dubbed the election results as a wave against the ruling BJP. Regarding Sindagi result, Siddaramaiah said the party has improved its position from third place to the second. He said the Congress candidate Ashok Managuli got over 40,000 votes. According to him, Managuli could not win because he was earlier in the JD(S) and there was an issue related to his adjustment with the local Congress workers.
