BSY day-dreaming to become CM: Siddaramaiah
“My fight is in favour of oppressed class”
Mandya, September 23: Clarifying that the coalition government was safe in the state and no one could able to topple it, former chief minister and coalition government coordination committee chairman Siddaramaiah ridiculed that BJP state president B.S Yeddyurappa was day dreaming to become chief minister.
Inaugurating the Kanaka Bhavan constructed on the premises of Kurubara Sangha in the city on Sunday, Siddaramaiah said that the BJP leaders were dreaming of getting power through back-door. BJP was in the opposition position as it has no majority. But it was day dreaming about forming the government for which they have planned to purchase MLAs. Where the BJP got so much of money, he asked.
No Congress MLA would leave the party. BJP should not come to power again in the state.
The coalition government was working for the people. When he was the chief minister, he had waived off the farm loans up to Rs 50,000. This government has also waived off the farm loans. Caste census was important to provide socio-economic, educational and political facilities. He would discuss with the Chief Minister on releasing the report of the caste census, he said.
No question of compromise
“I would not hesitate to say I am in favour Ahinda. My fight for the oppressed class will continue and there is no compromise in it. But the programmes I have implemented are not just restricted to Ahinda. Some people accuse me of favouring only Ahinda. What about the programmes like Anna Bhagya, Ksheera Bhagya, Loan waiver, Vidya Siri and other programmes? Didn’t all the communities get the benefits of these programmes”, he asked.
His government has constituted Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Development Authority, celebrated jayantis of Kempe Gowda, Bhageeratha, Rani Chennamma and others, made it compulsory to put up the portrait of Basavanna in the government offices and those programmes were not limited to just Ahinda class, he said.
