Congress supporting rationalists: Shettar
Davangere, September 2: Former chief minister Jagadish Shettar alleged that the Congress has been supporting the rationalists and their activities.
Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, he said that the rationalists and human rights activists were arrested on the basis of their evidences. Against this, the so-called rationalists have been protesting. Unfortunately, the Congress has been supporting them. It should give free hand to the police in this issue, he said.
Both Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy and former chief minister Siddaramaiah were not looking at each other. Instead of coordination, the coalition government was suffering due to infighting. The government has not celebrated the 100-day celebration of the government. Only the JDS has given the advertisement in media. The coalition government will collapse soon after the cabinet expansion. Minister DK Shivakumar and Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar have been speaking as if they were the spokespersons of the JDS. Siddaramaiah was hesitant to give minister post to Parameshwar. But Kumaraswamy has given minister post, he alleged.
Retaliating the statement of Minister Zameer Ahmed, Shettar said that the Congress had been doing the vote bank politics. He has given the statement in order to get minorities votes, he said.
