Bengaluru: Taking a dig at the BJP’s protest against the guarantee schemes of the Congress, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Tuesday said the former CM Yediyurappa was promoting the guarantee schemes by leading such protests and demonstrations.
Shivakumar sarcastically expressed his well-wishes for Yeddyurappa while commenting on the protest led by him at Freedom Park against the Congress Guarantee Schemes.
Pointing at the BJP leaders and the saffron party’s defeat in the Karnataka Assembly Election, Shivakumar stated that some individuals have been granted a well-deserved rest by the people, implying a change in the political landscape. He expressed surprise at the nature of the protest, questioning the reason behind criticizing the Congress Guarantee Schemes. Shivakumar emphasized that his party is always open to change and eager to address any issues that may arise.

Responding to former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy's accusation of bribery against Congress, Shivakumar dismissed the claims, stating, "There is no bribery, nothing." He suggested that if there is any evidence supporting such allegations, it should be reported to the Lokayukta (anti-corruption ombudsman). Shivakumar attributed Kumaraswamy's statements to his dissatisfaction with the election results, suggesting that the comments are unfounded and should not be a cause for concern.
