JDS-BJP match fixing this time like last time

Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has made an explosive statement that this time too there is an indication of JDS-BJP match fixing or reconciliation.

This is my last election, this is my last election. I am retiring from electoral politics after this election. My desire is to contest from my hometown constituency and retire. That is why I am contesting from Varuna constituency.

As the people of Kolar are calling insistently, I have asked them to give me a ticket to stop there. The final decision rests with the High Command. It is meaningless to say that I do not have a field. They said that they are inviting me because I have a chance to win in 25 constituencies.

There is an indication that JDS BJP is doing match fixing this time too like last time. Old Mysore does not mean new Mysore. They can fix everywhere. Siddaramaiah reacted to Vijayendra contesting from Varuna by saying that I am not afraid of anyone contesting against me.

No matter who stands, I will win and win. I said that Rahu-Ketu got united after losing the last election. But, now I don't use that word. They are now annoyed if used. I will win this time. He said that people are on my side.

Congress second list will be released in a day or two. There is a screening committee meeting today. After the meeting, we will send it to the High Command. After that the list will be released. The wind is blowing that Congress will come to power in the state. So many people are competing for tickets. He said that it is true that the anti-governance wave is very large in the state.
