I won't respond to Siddaramaiah's political statement: CM
Bengaluru, September 30: Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy said that he would not respond to the political statement of former chief minister Siddaramaiah.
Flagging off a Vintage Car rally from Bengaluru to Mysuru as part of the Mysuru Dasara, in front of the Vidhana Soudha here on Sunday, he said that he was unaware as to why Siddaramaiah has given such a statement 'Rahu Ketu joined together to defeat me' at Chamundeshwari constituency.
For the last three-four months, the media has provided an opportunity for the Congress-JDS coalition government to taste the hot ghee and now, once again, you have raised another issue for another debate, he said.
Old cars were being displayed for two days in Mysuru and the display would be conducted in major areas. The government would make all arrangements for the exhibition. Many people from London, France, Sri Lanka have been participating in the exhibition with their rare Vintage cars. People could see the cars as old as 1924, he said.
