Deve Gowda, also known as the "son of the soil", is renowned for his deep understanding of agricultural matters and his focus on rural development. With a political career spanning over seven decades, he continues to play an active role in Karnataka's coalition politics. He started his political journey in the 1950s by joining the Congress and later became a prominent figure in the Janata Party, playing a crucial role in the opposition politics of Karnataka.
He served as the Chief Minister of Karnataka from December 1994 to May 1996 and went on to become the 11th Prime Minister of India from June 1996 to April 1997, leading the United Front government. Recently, he held a press conference at the JD-S state office, JP Bhavan, in Bengaluru, where he announced an alliance with the BJP for all upcoming elections in Karnataka.
As the President of JD-S, Deve Gowda's son, Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, is the party's state unit President. He reassured that the alliance with the BJP is strong and will not be threatened in any upcoming polls, including Panchayat and Assembly elections. He also expressed his good relationship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and stated that he has never spoken ill of him in the last 10 years.
Furthermore, Deve Gowda disclosed the JD-S's aim of winning 50 to 60 seats in the upcoming civic polls in Bengaluru and how the party is actively campaigning in the city for the same. As we await further updates on Deve Gowda's health, it is evident that he continues to be a prominent figure in Karnataka's politics, leaving a lasting impact with his extensive knowledge and experience.
