Mysore/Mysuru: Chamundeshwari JD(S) MLA G.T. Devegowda (GTD) has alleged that the Government is plotting to postpone the due elections to the MCDCC (Mysuru-Chamarajanagar District Central Co-operative) Bank in order to curtail the political fortunes of his (GTD) MLA son G.D. Harishgowda, who served as the Bank President.

Charging the Siddaramaiah Government of unnecessarily postponing the MCDCC Bank elections because of fear of defeat, GTD claimed that many electors of the Bank were his followers.

Maintaining that the Congress Government seems to be disturbed with the Diary poll results in which his followers won comfortably, GTD blamed Congress Government for the postponing the Bank polls. But now the Court has ordered to conduct elections, he said adding that his son would again wrest control of MCDCC Bank.
