Mandya: A day after Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has decided to start his grama vastavya from North Karnataka, his son Nikhil Kumaraswamy said that that he is planning to stay in Mandya to regain the lost political territory and the video of the same was telecasted on a news channel.

In the video, Nikhil is heard saying “I was an outsider. Now, after facing this election I have realised what it is to fight an election staying outside and being here in the field. I have understood the ground reality visiting the 45 villages in 8 taluks. Now, I need to understand people and their woes in other taluks.”

“I have seen about seven lands and will soon buy a 2.5 acre land which has good water resource. I will not leave it here. I won’t even wait till the house is built. I will put a temporary shelter and stay in Mandya to understand people,” he added.

He had lost the Lok Sabha polls to independent candidate Sumalatha by a huge margin.
