Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, on Monday, set aside important official assignments to accompany his wife and JD(S) candidate Anitha Kumaraswamy to Ramanagara.
Kumaraswamy was supposed to chair a meeting pertaining to the incomplete Karanja irrigation project in Bidar at Vidhana Soudha at 10 am.
The chief minister, however, chose to reschedule the meeting and held a press conference on the bypolls at the JD(S) party office at 11 am. He left for Ramanagara soon after.
After returning to Bengaluru, Kumaraswamy held the meeting with the elected representatives and officials of Bidar on the Karanja project.
