Govt will collapse due to its internal bickering: Jagadish Shettar
Hubballi, Jan 31: Former chief minister Jagadish Shettar said that the Congress-JDS coalition government would collapse due to the conflict between Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy and former chief minister Siddaramaiah.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, Shettar said that when Siddaramaiah was the chief minister, many programmes were approved in a hurry and now, the coalition government was finding it difficult to provide funds to them.
The government was bankrupt financially and already, it has borrowed Rs 1,500 crore in the name of bonds. The total loan on the state has crossed more than Rs 3 lakh crore and if the same situation continued, the loan amount could reach more than Rs 5 lakh crore by the end of this government, he said.
As Tippu Sultan pledged his sons as he had failed to repay the loans, the state government could also pledge the state. The financial condition of the state has become so worse due to the conflict between Kumaraswamy and Siddaramaiah, he alleged.
“School students do not know who is the CM. Moreover, even the ministers and MLAs are also confused about the CM. So, Minister Puttaranga Shetty, MTB Nagaraj, MLA ST Somashekar and other leaders have been claiming that ‘Siddaramaiah is our CM’ which is a tragedy of the present government”, he ridiculed.
