The intentions are clear that I would like to provide the best quality leadership and help the commoner. A leader should render service and work with utmost consciousness and determination.u201d u201cA truthful and honest leader is what the people of Shivamogga are looking forward tou201d, he added. He spoke on the way the political leaders represent themselves and ask for votes. He said, u201cPeople vote on the basis of caste, religion and money but ironically, the same people who cast their votes to that leader, shout and disgrace the same representative. This is recurring in every election. We should have simple and transparent elections.u201d He recollected the time when people had elected him as an MLA from the Channagiri Constituency. u201cIn the year 1967, J H Patel was elected as the Member of Parliament from the Channagiri Constituency with vote.

On the question of what would be his agenda for the Lok Sabha election campaign, he said, u201cIu2019m not conned to just one aspect. As an MP, one will be having the responsibility of the whole nation and as an MLA, the whole state. Bihar CM Nitish Kumar is the setting example in terms of handling responsibilities and we too will do the same in our state.u201d u2018No relation is permanent in politicsu2019 Answering the queries on JD(U)-NDA alliance, he said that he would be contesting separately. Mahima Patel said, u201cNitish Kumar has said that we would be allied with NDA. But in my perspective, no relations are permanent in politics. The current scenario is such that one cannot rely upon another. Ramakrishna Hegde, J H Patel, George Fernandes are our leaders and with the motivation and inspiration derived from them, weu2019ll lead the party singly.u201d In the meantime, he has also kept the JD(U) doors open for the interested candidates. Elections should not be battlegrounds Speaking on the way the elections are fought in India, Mahima Patel said, u201cElections should no longer be a battleground. It must be taken sportively.u201d u201cWe say we work for the people and later arrogance, power and money overpower us. Later these three create a trap. Iu2019m contesting for the people and also for other politicians. Iu2019m looking forward to being a u2018Satised ministeru2019, as none is satised in the eld of politicsu201d, Mahima Patel said.
