Deve Gowda conspiring to divide state to strengthen his party: Yeddyurappa
Bengaluru, July 30: BJP state president and opposition leader BS Yeddyurappa alleged that former prime minister HD Deve Gowda has been conspiring to divide the state to strengthen his party JDS and the BJP would not allow this to happen.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, Yeddyurappa said that the ancestors of the land laid down their life for the whole Karnataka. But observing the recent statements of the Chief Minister, it was clear that a systematic conspiracy has been hatched out to divide the unified Karnataka, he said.
He would go to Belagavi to convince the swamijis and activists who are going to participate in separate state protest to be held in front of the Suvarna Vidhana Soudha in Belagavi on July 31 and ask them to commit for the unified Karnataka. Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has been treating the North Karnataka people as step children. By saying that they have not voted him for waiving off farm loans, Kumaraswamy has insulted the Constitution, he alleged.
By saying that he would give the money of Bengaluru to develop North Karnataka, Kumaraswamy has conspired to divide the house. But the silence of Congress leaders in this issue has created suspicion. North Karnataka people were pained because of Kumaraswamy’s statements. But many people have been trying to get the political mileage of Kumaraswamy’s statements. But the BJP would not allow anyone to divide the state, said Yeddyurappa.
