HASSAN (Karnataka), April 11, 2024 (TBINN)
The four-decade-old political battle between two influential families will once again be in sharp focus in this Lok Sabha polls, with members of their third-generation fighting it out in Hassan, which once hosted the capital of Hoysala Kingdom.
Known for its world-renowned Hoysala Period’s architectural marvels and U.N.E.S.C.O. world heritage sites like Belur, Halebedu, and also Jain sanctuary Shravanabelagola, Hassan, which lies partly in the ‘malnad’ tract and in the southern plains, gave the country its first Kannadiga Prime Minister — H.D. Deve Gowda.
The latest in the duel involving Deve Gowda’s and his fierce opponent former minister Late G. Puttaswamy Gowda’s families, will see their grandsons battling it out in the Lok Sabha polls, in this Vokkaliga-dominated district.
