My government is stable, instability only in media: Chief Minister Kumaraswamy in Udupi
Manipal, Sep 07: "Our coalition government is stable. Instability is only in the media reports. All that is impossible get discussed in the media. Write and discuss as per your pleasure. I will not stop anyone. How much media discusses about the fall of the government, our coalition gets that much stronger, said Chief Minister H.D Kumaraswamy.
The Chief Minister stated this when media persons asked various questions about the state government at a press conference which was called after the review meeting held at ZP auditorium during his first visit to Udupi district after taking charge as the Chief Minister.
When asked if he was worried about Belagavi’s issue, he said, "I never took tension regarding Belagavi’s issue. If I had a tension about Belagavi issue, I would not have come here today. I would have managed politics from Bengaluru. I would not have called a meeting of officials in Udupi,” he said.
The Belagavi PLD Bank election controversy is only debated in the media. There was no issue in that. That was a Congress Party’s internal issue. Everything is going on smoothly. Hence, my government is secured, Kumaraswamy reiterated.
When asked about Siddaramaiah's foreign trip, Kumaraswamy asked “what is wrong in Siddaramaiah going abroad. Has he gone alone? Didn’t the ministers and MLAs go with him? Besides, can I stop them going?” he asked.
Overall, the coalition government led by him is secure, and all ministers are united. Only the opposition parties and the media are looking for insecurity, he added.
