Cong men don’t have generosity now: Minister Puttaraju
‘It’s in our blood that Kumaraswamy is our CM’
Bengaluru, Jan 28: “If the attitude of the Congress men continued in the same way, the impact would be seen in future”, said Minister CS Puttaraju.
Speaking to reporters at the Vidhana Soudha here on Monday, Puttaraju said that “We have not gone to the doors of any leader for power. You have extended unconditional support to Kumaraswamy to become the chief minister due to which, he has been working as the CM.
Earlier, the Congress leaders have spoken big words. Now, they do not have that generosity. Instead, they have been ‘dictating’ the Chief Minister which is not acceptable. Our chief minister is Kumaraswamy”, he retaliated.
The coalition government has continued the programmes of Siddaramaiah government. The people have been observing the pain of Kumaraswamy who said that he was ready to tender his resignation. Objection was not good for the future of the coalition government. It is in our blood that Kumaraswamy is our CM. JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda is our leader. The 20-month alliance with the BJP was good”, he said.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
