Bengaluru; Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy criticized the Congress and supported the BJP. H D Kumaraswamy said his reputation had been lost after allying with the Congress.
He said the good name he had won from the people of the state for 12 years had been lost after joining the Congress. Kumaraswamy also accused Congress leader Siddaramaiah of conspiring against him. But “The reputation I had earned as chief minister during 2006-2007 was lost due to my alliance with the Congress.
The BJP had been in a state of disarray in 2006 when the chief minister stepped down. But after allying with Congress in 2018, all my reputation was destroyed. I fell into the trap of congress only because my father Deve Gowda said,” said H D Kumaraswamy. HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday said he would have still been the chief minister if the JD(S) was allied with the BJP.
A former chief minister himself, Kumaraswamy blamed Siddaramaiah for sullying his reputation amongst the people in the state. Kumaraswamy always blamed Siddaramaiah for the fall of the coalition government since the Congress leader still nursed an ambition to become CM again.
Kumaraswamy said, “Both Siddaramaiah and Ramesh Kumar had said that what we will gain with Kumaraswamy as the CM. Let BS Yediyurappa become the CM, he will earn a bad name and in 6 month’s time will be thrown out.
Siddaramaiah thought he could become CM once more then.” What has set tongues wagging is the alleged bonhomie between Kumaraswamy and Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa over the past few months. The two have met several times citing constituency-related development projects.
Interestingly, on the day that HD Kumaraswamy made the statement, Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa bumped into former chief minister Siddaramaiah and state Congress unit chief DK Shivakumar at the Belagavi airport.
