Politicians, it appears are crying at the drop of a hat. During this election, many politicians are rushing to emulate former Prime Minister H.D.Deve Gowda as far as shedding tears is concerned.
Delimitation brought tears to KPCC president Mallikarjun M.Kharge and Siddaramaiah while former Chief Minister H.D.Kumaraswamy burst out crying during a public meeting.
Siddaramaiah, who contested from Chamundeshwari in Mysore all these years, is contesting from Varuna now. He couldn't control his tears when the people from his old constituency said he had deserted him. 'You have always stood by me. How can I ever forget you?' he sobbed.
Same is the case with Kharge, who has changed his constituency from Gurnitakal to Chitapur in Gulbarga district.
Kharge became emotional when asked about how he felt about this change. He marvelled at how Gurnitkal constituency had stood by him all these years and promptly burst into tears.
Kumaraswamy's tears flowed under different circumstances. While addressing a public meeting in Malavalli, a group of women complained about their previous MLA from JD(S) K. Annadani. Upset about this , Kumaraswamy remarked' If you think I have worked for your welfare , then vote for us. Or else don't vote'. He abandoned his speech and started crying like a child, taking everybody by surprise.'
