KPCC working president and MLC Saleem Ahmed has said that former chairman of Legislative Council Basavaraj Horatti will be dumped by the teachers this time for joining a communal party.
Speaking to presspersons after accompanying Congress candidate Basavaraj Gurikar for filing nomination papers in Dharwad on Wednesday, Mr. Ahmed said that Mr. Horatti had remained undefeated for seven times because of his secular credentials.
“However, fearing defeat, he has joined the saffron brigade now. The teachers will reject communal forces and teach a befitting lesson to him this time,” he said.
