Rebel MLAs did not resign for money, it was because they were unhappy with coalition: H Vishwanath
Mysuru: Former JD(s) State President and disqualified MLA H Vishwanath on Sunday asserted that the rebel MLAs were not responsible for the collapse of coalition government in state while adding that leaders of coalition were themselves responsible for the collapse.
Speaking to reporters in Mysuru on Sunday, Vishwanath said "We didn't resign for money or any position, we did because we were unhappy with the coalition".
He also apologised to the voters.
"Leaders of Congress and JD(s) didn't pay respect to MLAs which led to them resigning from assembly" Vishwanath added while also apologising to JD(s) supremo HD Devegowda.
"Former CM Kumaraswamy is my friend but he didn't look like CM. Disciples of Siddaramaiah said Siddaramaiah was their CM, this triggered the fall of coalition government" Vishwanath said.
"I tried to meet Rahul Gandhi when he came here for campaigning but I couldn't, I was concerned about Siddaramaiah's role in Congress" Vishwanath complained.
