Speaking to Asianet Newsable, he said the trend in Shivajinagar is changing as ‘silent majority’ of the people are coming to JD(S). He refrained from talking about the BJP candidate M Saravana saying the public are aware of his background. He lashed out at the Congress saying, “all the goondas are with them”.

Karnataka Assembly by-polls are underway today (December 5) in 15 constituencies.
