<p>Chamarajanagar MP V Srinivas Prasad on Tuesday said that the BJP had its own strength to face MLC elections for local body constituencies and need no support from any other political parties. </p>.<p>In a press conference here Prasad said, "The BJP has its own strength and the JD(S) leaders have sought BJP’s support in six constituencies where it has fielded candidates. Our leader B S Yediyurappa has stated that it will be helpful for the BJP if the JD(S) extends support where the party has not fielded candidates. However, the party high command will take a call." </p>.<p>Srinivas Prasad ridiculed JD(S) MLA G T Devegowda and the leader of the opposition Siddaramaiah for becoming closer in recent days.</p>.<p>“Siddaramaiah tasted the worst defeat against Devegowda in the 2018 Assembly elections. It was like a war field in the Chamundeshwari Assembly segment. Devegowda brought JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy and launched ‘Janata Parva’ from Chamundeshwari constituency to defeat Siddaramaiah, but now the political rivalries are coming together and it is shameful,” he said.</p>.<p>Prasad said, "Siddaramaiah is greedy for power and he ran away to Badami in 2018.
