V Srinivas Prasad joined BJP for selfish reasons: Dinesh Gundurao

Mysuru: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee working president Dinesh Gundurao claimed that veteran leader Srinivasprasad had joined the Bharatiya Janata Party for selfish reasons and should not have done it.

To a query on the candidate for the byelection to the Assembly from Nanjangud segment, he said, “Observers have been sent to the constituency. Once the report arrives, the candidate will be finalised after discussion with the Chief Minister as he is from the district. We are prepared for the elections, we are confident that we will win,” he said.
