I am a person who works for the party’s principles.”Mahadevappa  said his  son Sunil Bose is an aspirant for the Chamarajanagar  Lok Sabha seat  not on grounds of being his son, but  in his capacity as a party worker. “Thrice he missed getting a ticket to  the Assembly, but that did not deter him from continuing to work for the party,” he added.
