Congress party has not won in Hanagal, it is Srinivas Maane’s victory: Minister V. Somanna

Bengaluru, November 2, 2021 (www.justkannada.in): “It is not the Congress party which has won at Hanagal. It is the victory of candidate Srinivas Maane,” opined Minister V. Somanna.
A joint press meet was held at the BJP head office in
Bengaluru today. Ministers V. Somanna, C.C. Patil and Tejaswini Rameshgowda, Chalawadi Narayanaswamy were present at the press meet. Minister V. Somanna expressed his view that Congress candidate Srinivas Maane had worked extensively in his constituency during the COVID-19 Pandemic. “However we will win in that constituency in the future. Our votes won’t go anywhere. This time only 2 to 3 percent of the votes have scattered. Hence, I consider it as the victory of Srinivas Maane,” he added.
“At Sindhagi the people have shown extra-ordinary support to BJP. But in Hanagal we have lost with a thin margin. We spoke about development in Sindhagi. We had asked the people to allow us to develop the constituency and they blessed us. Me, Govinda Karajola, C.C. Patil, Shashikala Jolle, Lakshman Savadi all worked together in Sindhagi. Hence, we won,” he said.
