Shivamogga: Minister K S Eshwarappa has opined that during the election of the Legislative Council, the party needs to help those who helped them during the formation of the BJP government.
He was speaking at the sidelines of a programme organised to mark the world environment day in the city on Saturday, June 13. Responding to query on whether the party would give another surprise while issuing tickets during the MLC election, Eshwarappa said that party high-command will take a call on selecting candidates, but priority should be given to the people who sacrificed their political ambitions for the BJP governments formation.
“It is time now to help those who helped us during the formation of the government. Rajya Sabha election and MLC elections are quite different. As we need to help those who helped in the past, a final decision on issuing tickets will be taken after discussing with the state leaders,” he informed.
