What did HD Kumaraswamy say about alliance with BJP in Lok Sabha elections?
Ramanagara, June 12: The Congress, which has won a landslide victory in the state assembly, is running a strategy to win more seats in the Lok Sabha elections as well. There is a lot of talk that the BJP and JDS will form an alliance in the Lok Sabha elections to defeat the Congress.
Talking to the media on Monday about this, he clarified that the issue of JDS alliance with BJP in the Lok Sabha elections is just a piece of news and there has been no such discussion.
Speculation is common in politics, no one has raised this issue before me. Regarding the Lok Sabha elections, I held a district-wise meeting and spoke to the candidates who won and lost. Kumaraswamy directly said that they are preparing an outline on how to face the elections.
Do you have a passion for national politics? Answering the question, he said, I am not interested in national politics. Last time too I was not interested in contesting elections. But I am in politics due to the insistence of activists. Stop, listen to the story of the sitting MP. He said that there is no need for elections amid corruption. When they say that they don’t want elections, what is the point of all of us? Said Kumaraswamy Tong without mentioning the name of MP DK Suresh.
Still talking about the confusion about guarantees, there is still time to discuss the government’s five guarantee scheme. He said he kept his word. But how the facilities are delivered to the beneficiaries is important. They said that already there is no free electricity for the tenants. After that Kodtivi Andru, now the house owner is not making an agreement with the tenant. Many problems arise. When the announcement was made, they said free for me, free for you too. Now we have to see how they will handle it all, he said.
Kumaraswamy hit back at DCM DK Shivakumar’s statement that he should complain to the Lokayukta about his allegations, saying that earlier the same people had made 40% allegations against the BJP government. Did they prove that allegation? Did he complain to the Lokayukta? If you look at it now, he said that Pukkate is giving me advice.
Now Congress is the government. Let the 40% matter be investigated, let the truth be put before the people. Shouldn’t the accuser have evidence? The contractors’ association did not file a complaint, did they testify? Who prevented the complaint to the Lokayukta? He questioned.
Why was 675 crores LOC not released in Mahanagara Corporation last May 8? Why did you keep it? Kumaraswamy insisted that you tell the people about it first.
