Addressing the media persons after filing the nomination papers, Poojary said, ‘I have filed 4 sets of nomination papers as mandated by Election Commission. Our campaign has already begun and the party workers are enthusiastically partaking in it,’ said Poojary.

‘Our padayatra received overwhelming response and the work done by CM Siddaramaiah-led state government have been appreciated by the people. We need to build the nation on the foundation of communal harmony and not play divisive politics,’ emphasized Poojary.

Commenting on BJP, Poojary said, ‘BJP right from Kashmir to Kanyakumari has been soliciting for votes in the name of PM candidate Narendra Modi and not in the party’s name or of its candidates. This means the contest is between Modi and me. Other parties like JDS are not even in the race,’ said Poojary.


Earlier, Poojary visited Darga at Ullal, Gokarnanata temple – Kudroli and also Milagres church, here to seek blessings.
