Mysuru: Narasimharaja (NR) constituency BJP defeated candidate Satheesh (Sandesh Swamy) has said that he himself will take responsibility for his defeat.

Speaking at a poll introspection meet of NR Unit party workers at a function hall on Shivaji Road in N.R. Mohalla here yesterday, Sandesh Swamy said that it was totally surprising that the BJP did not get a single vote in 60 polling booths of NR Constituency. But still he succeeded in polling 44,141 votes and came second in the polls, he said.

Highlighting the role of party workers in his campaign, he said that he had never seen such unity  among party workers in the run up to the polls.

Asking the party workers not to feel disappointed over his loss, he said that he would make preparations for the next Assembly polls in  right earnest.

BJP leader M.V. Ravishankar, in his address, called upon the party workers to get prepared for fighting the next Assembly polls right now.

Former District BJP President Hemant Kumar Gowda too addressed the meeting.

NR Block BJP President S. Murali, former Deputy Mayor Rathna Lakshman, leaders Dr. Anil Thomas, Giridhar and others were present.
