Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson M. Lakshmana on Wednesday said he was also an aspirant for the Congress ticket to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Mysuru constituency.
Fielding reporters queries in Mysuru, Mr. Lakshmana, however, said he will extend support to the candidature of former MLA Yathindra Siddaramaiah if the party fields him.
“If Mr. Yathindra contests, all of us will spare no efforts to ensure his victory,” he said adding that the party’s Mysuru City and District Congress Committee will wholeheartedly welcome his nomination.
