His claim comes amid reports of some disgruntlement within the BJP over ceding Mandya Lok Sabha seat to alliance partner, JD(S). Sumalatha Ambareesh, an independent backed by the BJP, won the 2019 general elections in Mandya. Speculations are rife within JD(S) that its state president HD Kumaraswamy or his son may contest from Mandya.
