HD Kumara Swamy has made a new strategy for the upcoming elections. He is planning to share the JDS seats with Janasena Party of Pavan Kalyan.
Former Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy today met Tollywood actor and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan at his residence here.
The meeting comes ahead of the release of Kumaraswamy's son Nikhil Gowda's debut Kannada movie "Jaguar".
Both the leaders maintained that it was just a "courtesy" meeting.
"We are friends, and I am also a fan of him. This meeting is not for any political issues. We are very close friends since last eight years. My son Nikhil Kumar is also entering Telugu film industry. I wanted to take his blessings for Nikhil," Kumaraswamy said.
"Actually, my son wanted to move into Telugu (film industry). Personally, I wanted to request my brother (Kalyan) to treat him as his own brother and give all cooperation and blessings to him and for that, I came here," he said
The Janata Dal (Secular) leader said no political issues were discussed in the meeting. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka states are like brothers.
"It is only a courtesy call. I know Kumaraswamy since 2008. His son is featuring in a new film," Kalyan said.
Asked if any political discussions took place during their meeting, he said,"...Nothing like that".
Kumaraswamy also showed a teaser of his son's upcoming movie to him.
