Later, responding to reports that a clean chit is being given in the sting case against Siddaramaiah, Kumaraswamy said, “The important thing here is who will be given a clean chit. Whether it will be given to Krupa Alur or someone else, let us wait and see. The police question is why Rs 4 lakh was given to a girl from Kerala.”
On DK Shivakumar becoming Chief Minister, Kumaraswamy said, “D.K. Shivakumar has become CM with great difficulty. Many people have made offerings for him to become CM. When I had to become CM with Congress support, I had not applied. They themselves came and made me CM. When farm loans had to be waived, I know how much they supported. When I got the CM post, I showed how work can be done. Let DK Shivakumar also work in the same way. If we don’t raise our voice against the injustice and irregularities happening in this government now, won’t it be cheating the people?”
Countering Shivakumar’s remark that his house god is lies, Kumaraswamy said, “What are you doing? You went to Mangaluru and announced Rs 32,000 crore. Is it true? Do you have that much money? Isn’t that a lie? Have you given land for a testing lab in Mandya? Where have you given it? In Ramanagara, a Deputy Tahsildar was caught by the Lokayukta while taking a Rs 15,000 bribe. See to what extent corruption is happening.”
Reacting to the allegation that he has done nothing for the state as Union Minister, Kumaraswamy said bringing industries is the state’s responsibility, and his job is only to bring schemes. “Look at industrial policy in Tamil Nadu, Andhra. Kumaraswamy cannot bring industries. We have given schemes worth about Rs 11,000 crore to different states,” he said.
On reports that the high command has tightened reins on DK Shivakumar’s functioning, Kumaraswamy said, “This is not a question of high command here. Chief Minister should know how CM should work. It won’t work by just giving statements. The state’s tax money should be allocated for development.”
“Today, Congress workers, about 500 people, are being given positions and honour in boards and corporations. Government says it has no money. How much money will they spend for that? They put dozens of conditions for giving to farmers. What conditions do you put to give positions to your workers in boards and corporations? What use is it to you? I waived Rs 25,000 crore in farm loans. Did I stop development work? I gave Rs 500 to 600 crore grant to each constituency,” he said.
On Gruha Lakshmi funds release, he said, “I don’t know what they have done about Rs 5,000 crore. When it went to court, they gave an affidavit to the court saying we have a shortage of funds. You have increased bus fare for the second time. Twice in one year they increased bus fare. They have increased loans.”
On the Hiriyur by-election, Kumaraswamy said earlier there was a fight between Congress and JD(S) there, and hence the NDA candidate will be fielded this time.
On ST reservation for Kadugollas, he said the proposal has been sent to the Centre five times, and all have been returned. “I will again request Centre regarding it. But DK Shivakumar has reportedly said he will include Kadugollas in ST. Can he include? He himself is a liar,” he said.
He said talks have been held on an alliance for ZP-TP elections, and he spoke to BJP leaders about the alliance on Wednesday. (ANI)
