Speaking to the waiting media men after filing nomination, Janardhana Poojary said the party has already initiated its campaigning and added the party workers   have plunged head on into the campaigning field with the objective of the victory of their candidate. Even the Congress padayatras organised at various places have evoked good response, Poojary said.

The need of the hour is communal harmony, he said and strongly deplored divisive politics. Launching a verbal attack on the BJP for seeking votes in the name of Modi rather than the party or its candidates, Poojary said the fight is with Modi and none else.

Earlier, Poojary visited the Ullal Dargah, Kudroli Shree Gokarnanatha Temple and Milagres Church and offered prayers before filing his nomination.
