By Our Staff Correspondent

DAVANGERE, JUNE 27. Shyagale G. Nagappa, a senior Janata Dal (Secular) leader, who was defeated in the Assembly election from Mayakonda constituency, and Channaiah Odeyyar, who was defeated in the Lok Sabha election from Davangere, at a press conference here today, said that lack of unity was the chief cause for the party's debacle in the district.

They alleged that a few leaders did not work honestly for the Lok Sabha and Assembly candidates.

Mr. Nagappa alleged that K.G. Maheshwarappa, former MP, and K. Mallappa, former MLC, did not work for the party during the elections.

He said that he had written to the former Prime Minister, H.D. Deve Gowda, in this regard.

The two leaders said that a few senior leaders of the party from the district planned to apprise Mr. Deve Gowda and the Deputy Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah, of the situation in the district and request them to reorganise the party in the district.
