According to informed sources, Kumaraswamy also discussed re-nomination of his father and former PM HD Deve Gowda to Rajya Sabha as his term ends in June. “Former CM BS Yediyurappa, his son and state BJP president BY Vijayendra want to nominate former union minister and former CM DV Sadananda Gowda. It is in this backdrop that Kumaraswamy met Shah,” sources added.
