Though I’m CM, I’m not happy: Kumaraswamy
Mysuru, October 10: “I was not a politician. But I came to politics accidentally. I became Chief Minister twice. Even then, I am not happy”. This was how Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy expressed his feelings.
After inaugurating the Dasara festival at Chamundi Hills here on Wednesday, the CM said that “the farmers in the state have been committing suicide fearing the notice from banks. Do not take such an extreme step. Believe the government. Believe me. I’ll introduce various programmes for your welfare. Do not make the families orphans by committing suicide. Do not allow your children to face problems”, he appealed the farmers.
“I was not a politician. My profession was different. I had never thought that I would become a politician. But I have entered the politics accidentally. I became the Chief Minister twice. But I am not happy”, he said.
“I have completed just three months as Chief Minister. It’s not possible to solve all problems within this time. Let me give some time to solve your problems”, he said.
Sudha Murthy a special woman
“Sudha Murthy is a rare woman that I have ever seen in the state. She has compassion like a mother. It's my belief that everything will be okay if Sudha Murthy offered pooja to the Goddess of the land. Every individual should have motherly heart”, he said.
Speaking on how Sudha Murthy responded to the Kodagu victims, Kumaraswamy said that it was not a new programme that she had given. Narayana Murthy couple had contributed Rs 200 crore to Namma Metro Project and Rs 25 crore for development of Bengaluru Cyber Crime Division of the Police department. They have never used their money for their personal cause, he recalled the social service of Infosys Foundation headed by Sudha Murthy and said that selection of Sudha Murthy was an honour to the entire women of the state.
Higher Education and District Minister G.T. Deve Gowda spoke on the occasion. Ministers S.R. Mahesh, Jayamala, Rajashekar Basavaraj Patil, MP Pratap Simha, MLC K.T. Srikanthe Gowda, MLAs H. Vishwanath, K. Mahadev, S.A. Ramadas, L.
