Davangere: Minister for Social Welfare H.C. Mahadevappa clarified on Sunday that the comparison drawn between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar is solely in the context of their governance and public service, not on a personal level.
Speaking to the media in the city, Mahadevappa said that Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar was a visionary ruler who stood for social justice and built an equitable society with people-centric reforms. "It's not appropriate to compare any individual with him. He was incomparable. The reference made between Siddaramaiah and Nalwadi is only in terms of their pro-people and developmental work," he reiterated.
Responding to BJP’s criticism over Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala allegedly acting like a “Super CM,” Mahadevappa said, "Just as a jaundiced eye sees everything as yellow, BJP leaders view everything with bias. The Congress party has never interfered in the functioning of the government. There is no instance of party in-charges criticizing ministers or MLAs. Our focus has always been on governance, not internal meddling," he said.
