Tanveer Sait recalled that the gujari was setup in city due to the initiatives of former CM Devaraja Urs and his father Aziz Sait. It was difficult to carry out any development at gujari which has 169 shops. But, because of Harishgowda’s efforts, roads and drainages are provided here and I thank him on behalf of the people, Said added.

Both the MLAs exuded confidence that Congress candidate C.P. Yogeshwar will win the Channapatna by-election.
