Cong men don’t have generosity now: Minister Puttaraju
‘It’s in our blood that Kumaraswamy is our CM’
Bengaluru, Jan 28: “If the attitude of the Congress men continued in the same way, the impact would be seen in future”, said Minister CS Puttaraju.
Speaking to reporters at the Vidhana Soudha here on Monday, Puttaraju said that “We have not gone to the doors of any leader for power. You have extended unconditional support to Kumaraswamy to become the chief minister due to which, he has been working as the CM.
Earlier, the Congress leaders have spoken big words. Now, they do not have that generosity. Instead, they have been ‘dictating’ the Chief Minister which is not acceptable. Our chief minister is Kumaraswamy”, he retaliated.
The coalition government has continued the programmes of Siddaramaiah government. The people have been observing the pain of Kumaraswamy who said that he was ready to tender his resignation. Objection was not good for the future of the coalition government. It is in our blood that Kumaraswamy is our CM. JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda is our leader. The 20-month alliance with the BJP was good”, he said.
