Had I listened to Modi, I would have been CM for 5 years: HD Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru, July 14: Former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy made a surprise statement in the House on Thursday that he would have been the CM for the full term of the last five years.
Yes, when CM Siddaramaiah was replying to the debate on the Governor’s vote of thanks in the Legislative Assembly on Thursday, HD Kumaraswamy intervened and spoke when the proposal of Operation Kamala came up, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called and discussed for one and a half hours during the Lok Sabha elections when we were running an alliance government with the Congress. At this time, there will be no problem for the next four years and they have invited us to support the government.
I was the Prime Minister earlier Modi If I had listened to him, he made a surprise statement in the House that I would have been the Chief Minister for the full term for the last five years, and there was Operation Kamala. But he said that in the last few days, news about Operation Hasta is coming more and more in the media.
In this case Kumaraswamy Why did he join them? Siddaramaiah retorted. Responding to this, Kumaraswamy said that it is true that Prime Minister Narendra Modi called and discussed for an hour and a half 15 days before the Lok Sabha elections during the coalition government. There will be no problem for the next four years. He had invited that he would support the government. But I despise it. He said that the government has done it with you so that there should not be a black spot.
I would have been the Chief Minister for the last five years if the country had listened to the Prime Minister and decided. Repeatedly saying that BJP is B team, you push yourself towards BJP. Should we stay in politics? If I do, I will do it directly, said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
I am not the Chief Minister of Operation Kamala, politics is run on caste, on which caste are you discussing. He lashed out at the Congress leaders saying that politics is based on caste.
