“It is my father’s [former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda] dream to make [Mr.] Devaraj a MLA,” he said.
According to Mr. Revanna, the previous Congress-JD(S) State coalition government had allocated ₹700 crore for the development of K.R. Pet Assembly constituency.
Meanwhile, Mr. Chandrashekar, Congress nominee in the December 5 byelections, campaigned in many villages in the vicinity of Anuvinakatte.

The Congress is the only party that had worked for the development of the country, he said.
He urged the people to reject the BJP candidate as he and other disqualified MLAs have caused financial burden on the State by tendering resignation to their posts.
