Commenting on the election of BJP’s R Ashok as Karnataka leader of the opposition, the Chief Minister said, “We are not worried about who is the opposition leader. Our Congress government, formed with the blessings of the people, is fulfilling the promises it made to the them”.
He said, “The government is creating a peaceful atmosphere in the state without indulging in hate politics”.
In response to former CM HD Kumaraswamy’s tweet about the transfer of Vivekananda, the Block Education Officer of Mysore Rural Taluk, the CM said,” Kumaraswamy has spoken about him and not about VV Puram, Bengaluru’s Inspector Vivekananda who was transferred to Chamarajanagar district”.
“Making nonsensical statements out of anxiety,” the Chief Minister said taking a dig at Kumaraswamy without taking any name.
CM Siddaramaiahal also said that a fitting reply will be given in the upcoming assembly session to the allegations of corruption made by the BJP against the government.
Reacting to BJP’s poster movement against Congress, the CM said,” People have taught BJP a proper lesson. The BJP and JDS had dreamed of forming a coalition government. But the fact that Congress won 136 seats has made them anxious and they are making meaningless statements,” the CM said.
