Vishwanath will get his due, assures Prasad

Mysuru: The BJP was aware of the services rendered by senior politician Adagooru H Vishwanath to help the saffron party stake claim to power in Karnataka, and he would be duly rewarded, said former minister and Chamarajanagar MP V Srinivasa Prasad on Monday. “Chief minister BS Yediyurappa will walk the talk as far as rewarding those who were vital to the formation of the BJP government is concerned,” Prasad added.
Horticulture and sericulture minister Narayana Gowda called on Prasad on Monday to discuss the possible induction of Vishwanath into the state cabinet. Both Prasad and Gowda have thrown their weight behind Vishwanath, who was one of the two BJP candidates who lost in the byelections held last year. Against the backdrop of all parties finalising the list of candidates for the legislative council elections, Prasad hinted at the possibility of Vishwanath being nominated to the upper house in the state, following which he could be made a minister. “There are no differences within the party on selection of candidates for the polls,” said the MP.
Gowda said that ‘good times’ were about to start for Vishwanath.
