In a development which is being seen as rumblings within the BJP in Dharwad district, Nanda Nishith, daughter of the former MLA S.I. Chikkanagoudar, has taken the Facebook route to take on Member of Parliament from Dharwad Pralhad Joshi.
Through her Facebook post, Ms. Nishith, who is married to the former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa’s grandson, has sought answers from Mr. Joshi on why he was promoting leaders who had cheated the BJP and had canvassed against party candidate and her father S.I. Chikkanagoudar during the Assembly elections.
Posting photographs of those leaders who had campaigned for the Congress candidate, including Maheshgouda Patil, who was seen next to Mr. Joshi in a programme attended by the MP, Ms. Nishith has sought to know why they had not been dismissed from the party till date.
