Speaking in Chikkaballapur the day before, Raksha Ramaiah said, “Dr K Sudhakar contested against me, it doesn’t matter. Even if Sudhakar comes, it is good for us, whoever comes is good. Lost everything in Congress for ten years. Raksha Ramaiah said that there is no doubt about getting everything from now on.”
At the same time, Congress leader M R Seetharam attacked former Chikkaballapur MP Veerappa Moily. He said, “In 2009, I started campaigning as an official candidate. Even though Veerappa Moily came then I lost the ticket. Even in 2014 we supported Moily due to unavoidable reasons.”
