Deve Gowda Files Nomination Papers From Tumakuru LS Seat

JD(S) supremo HD Deve Gowda encounters one of his harshest political battles as he filed his nomination papers from the Tumakuru Lok Sabha seat, after renouncing the family supporters of Hassan and Mandya to his grandsons, on Monday.

In the presence of local Congress leader G Parameshwara and deputy chief minister, the 86-year-old submitted his papers as the JDS-Congress nominee. Gowda was asked to choose between Bengaluru North and Tumakuru. To end with, he opted for the Tumakuru Lok Sabha seat and will take on BJP’s four-time MP from Tumakuru, G S Basavaraj.
