BJP misuses Central Investigation Agencies: Kumaraswamy
"JDS to support Bharat Bandh"
Bengaluru, Sept 08: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has alleged that the BJP leaders are trying to destabilize the state’s coalition government by misusing Central Investigation Agencies.
Speaking at a function organized in the city, he challenged BJP leaders that he wants to see how they would destabilize the coalition government.
“There are attempts to bring down the state government by leveling false cases against some ministers of the coalition government and some leaders. The BJP does not succeed in any of these strategies,” he said.
Using the CBI, IT and ED departments; the central government is trying to threaten the regional parties and opposition leaders across the country including senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and Trinamool Congress Chief Mamata Banerjee, he accused.
Taking a jibe at Yeddyurappa, Kumaraswamy said, “when I see BJP's state president B.S. Yeddyurappa returning Bengaluru amidst the BJP's national executive meeting in Delhi, I feel that he has come here to demolish the coalition government and take oath as Chief Minister.
JDS to support bandh
The JDS will support the Bharat bandh, which has been called by several parties, including the Congress, on September 10 condemning petrol and diesel price hike and against various policies of the Center.
