HDK lashes out at BJP, lists out 16 dynasties in Karnataka BJP
Bengaluru, Jul 6: Former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Wednesday listed 16 family dynasties' in the Karnataka unit of the BJP as he hit out at the saffron party for repeatedly calling the JD(S) a dynastic party.
He said everyone understands the sum and substance of BJP's Mission Dakshin, Yoga in Mysuru and churning in Hyderabad, referring to Prime Minister's events in the South and statement against dynastic politics.
In a series of tweets, the JD(S) second-in-command hit back at the BJP in Karnataka for calling him Lucky Dip Chief Minister' on Wednesday.
You spoke about family rule. I have already given the list. Again for your attention. 1.Yediyurappa & Sons 2. Ravi Subramanya-Tejaswi Surya 3. Ashoka-Ravi 4. V.Somanna-Arun Somanna 5. Arvind Limbavali-Raghu 6. S.R.Vishwanath-Vani Vishwanath 7. Jagadish Shettar-Pradeep Shettar 8. Murgesh Nirani-Hanumath Nirani 9. G.S.Basavaraju-Jyoti Ganesh 10. Jarkiholi Family 11. Katti Family 12. Jolle Family 13. Angadi Family 14. Udasi Family 15. Sriramulu Family 16. Reddy Brothers,
He said, There is still more to your family dynasty. I am aware that "BJP is a chainlink of family politics" should I expose the nation-wide family politics in the BJP? One can write 'Parivarakoti' while talking about family politics in States ruled by you.
Kumaraswamy's outburst was against the repeated accusation of the BJP of calling JD(S) a dynastic party. Often, some BJP leaders referred to the JD(S) as Appa-Maga' party, meaning Father-Son Party' as it is headed by former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda and Kumaraswamy as the second-in-command.
The JD(S) leader lashed out against the BJP today for calling him a lucky dip CM' in a set of tweets.
In Lucky Dip, I will cry whether I win or lose. If someone calls me Lucky Dip CM, I get irritated, and scratch my body. Can you guess who I am. I am Lucky Dip CM HDK, the Karnataka unit of BJP tweeted.
Explaining the meaning of Lucky Dip CM', the BJP said Kumaraswamy twice became Chief Minister just by luck, for despite having MLAs in double digits, he got the coveted post through lucky draw'.
Replying to the Lucky Dip' jibe, the JD(S) leader said, Yes. I am Lucky dip CM, what now? Did your CM get the people's mandate in the election? How can you forget that your CM is lucky too?
"Ask the person who was the Deputy CM in 20:20 govt on how many lucky dip CMs are there in the @BJP4Karnataka? It was me who showed the seat of power to the BJP, the party which was never in power till then, he added.
Stating that he is not ashamed to be called a lucky dip Chief Minister, as he had often described himself as an "accidental CM."
He sought to know whether the Lucky Dip CM' tag was lower in status than 'Operation Kamala CM'.
The Operation Kamala' term was referred to the purported attempt of the BJP to pull elected representatives from Opposition parties to form the government.

Standing firmly with armed forces; time for unity, solidarity: Congress
New Delhi(PTI): This is a time for unity and solidarity and the Congress is standing firmly with the armed forces, the party said on Wednesday as Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes on terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said India's commitment to eliminating all sources of terrorism in Pakistan and PoK has necessarily to be uncompromising and always be anchored in the supreme national interest.
"This is a time for unity and solidarity. Right from the night of April 22nd, the Congress has been categorically stating that the government will have our fullest support in the nation's response to the Pahalgam terror attack," he said.
"The Congress is standing firmly with our armed forces," Ramesh said on X, using the hashtag "Operation Sindoor".
In retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack, Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes early Wednesday on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba's base Muridke.
The military strikes were carried out under Operation Sindoor two weeks after the massacre of 26 civilians in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam.
"A little while ago, the Indian armed forces launched 'Operation Sindoor' hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed," the defence ministry said in a statement at 1.44 am.
It said the actions by the Indian armed forces have been "focused, measured and non-escalatory" in nature and that no Pakistani military facilities have been targeted.
