Mr Vishwanath, who was within the JDS earlier and later crossed over to the BJP, was visibly upset. Earlier than he might step ahead to talk, Mr Somanna stopped him.
A lot of the JDS staff claimed there was some reality within the MLA’s assertion.
Despite the fact that the matter was resolved later, the camaraderie between the occasion staff appears to be dealing with teething troubles, particularly with the BJP and the JDS attempting to bury ideological variations to make sure a formidable combat towards the Congress.
