Emphasising on the need for maintaining unity and proper co-ordination among local party leaders and workers, he asked those who are willing to rebel against the party to quit the party now itself.

Stating that every MP has been tasked with ensuring the victory of the party candidates in at-least two Assembly segments, the Union Minister said that he himself has been assigned the responsibility of Gokak and Belagavi North Assembly segments.

Claiming that there were more number of aspirants for the party tickets in Mysuru, Hegde said that politicians should not compromise with their stand on issues.
