Have become CM because of Cong: HDK
Bengaluru, June 11: “I was not interested to become Chief Minister. But I have agreed as the Congress leaders have forced me to become the Chief Minister”, said Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy.
Speaking to reporters at Gandhi Bhavan here on Monday, Kumaraswamy said that “my father Deve Gowda asked the Congress leaders to make anyone of them as CM as I have undergone two surgeries. But Congress leaders from the state and the centre have forced me to become the CM. I am at the mercy of the Congress and leading the government”, Kumaraswamy said.
“I am not here to make money. I have undergone surgeries for twice and I don’t know how long I would survive. Because of the God’s grace, I am sitting here. I would protect the name of Mahatma Gandhi”, he said.

'I go to Parliament to create impact, not ruckus': Raghav Chadha rubbishes AAP's allegations
New Delhi (PTI): "I go to Parliament to create impact, not ruckus," said Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Saturday as he rejected allegations levelled against him by the Aam Aadmi Party, calling them "false" and part of a "coordinated campaign".
In a video, Chadha dismissed claims that he did not join opposition walkouts, terming the charge a "blatant lie".
He challenged his detractors to cite even a single instance where he failed to participate and said parliamentary proceedings are recorded through CCTV cameras.
Refuting another allegation that he refused to sign a motion related to the Chief Election Commissioner, Chadha said no party leader had asked him, either formally or informally, to sign it. He added that several other MPs from his party had also not signed the motion.
The MP said his focus in Parliament has been on raising public issues such as GST, income tax, air pollution in Delhi, water concerns in Punjab, public healthcare, education, railway passenger issues, menstrual health, unemployment and inflation.
Chadha said that he goes to Parliament to "create impact not ruckus" as it runs on taxpayers' money and it is his responsibility to highlight their concerns. "Every lie will be exposed," he said.
