The candidates were selected after consulting party workers. There is no confusion in the party, he said. <br /><br />The former CM said “the Party High Command has given me an opportunity to contest from Bangalore North constituency.

I have come here to seek the blessings of Lord Mahalingeshwara for the success of my political career.” <br /><br />Nethravathi diversion<br /><br />He said that the pseudo environmentalists have no knowledge on Yettinahole project. Without understanding the reality, they are engaged in levelling allegations.<br /> “I oppose Netravathi river diversion. However, Yettinahole is different from Netravathi river diversion. As per the Yettinahole project, only rain water will be collected and diverted to the parched districts. Rain water from Yettinahole and other 11 streams will be collected for 100 days and will be supplied to parched districts. Every year, 3,000 tmc water from Netravathi river flows to the sea,” the former chief minister emphasized. <br /></p>
