Kumaraswamy is blackmailing to keep Congress leaders under control: BSY
Resignation issue
Bengaluru, Jan 28: “On one side, Kumaraswamy’s statement is saying everything is not fine in the coalition government and on the other side, it is a blackmailing strategy through AICC president Rahul Gandhi to keep the Congress leaders under control”, said BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa.
“Resignation statement of the Chief Minister is exposing the internal bickering within the coalition partners. The differences between Congress and JDS proved the statement of the Chief Minister.
The CM and the Congress leaders have been passing buck on us saying that the BJP has been doing ‘Operation Lotus’ in order to divert the attention of the people and it is a biggest strategy to cover-up the failures of the coalition government”, he said in a press statement.
Though there was severe drought in the state, the coalition government was sleeping. So, it was not bothering about the plights of the people. Though it was almost one month after a farmer’s suicide at Doddachellur village in Chitradurga district, no officer or elected representative have visited the house of the farmer, he said.
