Raitha Sangha district president Shambunahalli Suresh said the general population of the supporters are of the view that Darshan was the rightful candidate to challenge the polls.
The sangha has finalized its decision on the candiadte. “The late MLA’s significant other Sunitha Puttannaiah and other’s in his family too have given their approval.
