Koppal, May 5: JDS president and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been campaigning for power as he is the seasonal politician.

Speaking to reporters at Kukanur in the district on Saturday, Kumaraswamy said that people would not believe any politician if he uttered the names of some historians. People would not take his speech seriously. Both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and AICC president Rahul Gandhi were like buffoons. They would read out the speeches written by someone. What did they know about Karnataka state, he asked.

People will give answer

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been telling very often that the JDS would not come to power in the state. But the people of the state would give a befitting reply to Siddaramaiah on May 15, he said.

Cup is ours

Former prime minister and JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda is a senior politician in the country. So, Modi has praised him. But his statement against voting JDS it is not fair. In this election, JDS would come to power on its own and this time, it is JDS cup, he said.

Campaign from film stars

Because of the fear of losing the election, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been bringing film actors for campaigning. But people were talking that film stars would campaign for anybody for money and this is not a good development, he said.
