Bengaluru: In an unprecedented move, freedom fighter HS Doreswamy addressed a press conference in Ballari and requested the voters to support JDS-Congress candidate VS Ugrappa in the Lok Sabha by-election.
Doreswamy, who is in the forefront of various agitations said that generally, he hesitates to support any candidate or the party.
“Here in Ballari, we all need to unite and join hands to strengthen the democracy. We must support Ugrappa or else the ‘Ballari Republic’ of the Reddys will resurface, ” he said.
“Secular forces must be strengthened in the state,” he urged.
