Narayana Gowda says he will stay in JD(S)

Following speculation over his political move, Janata Dal (Secular) MLA for K.R. Pet K.C. Narayana Gowda has clarified that he had sought leave of absence from attending the Legislative Assembly session owing to health issues. His supporters at a meeting on Thursday, however, decided to follow him, if he chooses to leave the party.
His clarification came after his absence in the Assembly on Wednesday raised speculation that unhappy at being “ignored”, he would leave the party. However, he said he considered JD(S) supremo H.D. Deve Gowda as “god” and he was not leaving the party. Since he suffered from food poisoning, he had informed the Speaker about it, he added.
