HD Kumaraswamy calls Amit Shah reincarnation of Joseph Goebbels
Bengaluru, Dec 31: JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy on Saturday called BJP a party full of "hypocrisies and lies" and Union Home Minister Amit Shah "a political chameleon" and "reincarnation" of Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.
The former Chief Minister through a series of tweets has reacted to the saffron party leader's attack against JD(S).
"The fact that BJP-Bari Bootatike Party (a party full of hypocrisies) is a party of liars was made evident by your yapping lies. @AmitShah You are a political chameleon! This is the true face of your party. You're a reincarnation of Joseph Goebbels. You're disgraceful," Kumaraswamy said.
Pointing at Shah's allegation that Karnataka will become the ATM of the JD(S) party if it wins, he said if the regional party forms the government, it will become the ATM of the crores of Kannadigas, farmers, labourers, the oppressed, and the disabled.
"JD(S) is the people's ATM. ATM means Any Time Manushyatva (Humanity) to us. To you, it means Any Time Mosa (Cheating). You've forced the nation into the path of destruction through your lies. Let's set the matter of the nation aside..." he added.
Hitting the ground running in poll-bound Karnataka, Shah on Friday had called Congress and JD(S) "parivaarvadi" (dynastic politics) and "corrupt", and had urged the people of Mandya and Old Mysuru region to support the BJP in forming a government with majority in the State.
Hitting back at allegations of corruption, Kumaraswamy said: "Karnataka BJP government is not a 40 per cent government, but a 55-60 per cent government! Isn't Karnataka an ATM of your party? You must definitely know this. Why hide the truth? Realize that your bravado will not work in front of the Mandya people, Shah."
Responding to Shah's attack on the JD(S) for 'parivarvaad' (dynasty politics), Kumaraswamy referred to BCCI secretary Jay Shah without naming him.
"Aren't you aware of the extent of family politics in your party? Is your son any cricket pundit? Why is he a part of BCCI? Does your son's position satisfy the guidelines laid by the Supreme Court? Now, tell me whose ATM is BCCI?" he asked.
The fact that BJP-Bari Bootatike Party (A party full of hypocrisies) is a party of liars was made evident by your yapping lies. @AmitShah You are a political chameleon! This is the true face of your party. You’re a reincarnation of Joseph Goebbels. You're disgraceful. 1/11

You are alleging that Karnataka will become the ATM of the JDS party if we win. If JDS forms the government, it will become the ATM of the crores of Kannadigas. It will become the ATM of farmers, laborers, the oppressed, and the disabled.2/11

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
