I know background of kingpins: CM Kumaraswamy
‘BJP is making futile attempts to topple govt’
Bengaluru, Sept 14: “The BJP has been making futile attempts to topple the coalition government in the state. I know who are the kingpins and their background and from whom they have been collecting money for the purpose. I have all the details”, said Chief Minister H.D Kumaraswamy.
Speaking to reporters at his Home Office Krishna here on Friday, he said that a coffee planter from Sakaleshpura in Hassan district had planned to open a resort. For killing his wife and child, he was put behind the bars now. He knew about the person responsible for that crime.
He has the details about the persons who set ablaze the office where the BBMP files were kept in 2010. Who was the kingpin behind that act? Who colluded with whom to topple the government? Who made assets worth crores of rupees in gambling? They have been utilizing that money to destabilize the coalition government. He has all the details with him. Preparations were being made to take action against them.
Let the BJP people do their work. He would not worry about that. “I know how the MLAs are being lured with money. I have not kept quite. I know about the kingpins working to destabilize the government and how they have been collecting the amount”, the CM said.
“Deadlines are repeating in media to topple the government. Monday deadline was over. Now, Ganesh festival deadline was also over. Now, it may be October 2 and later, it may be Dasara festival. Later, they may fix the deadline after seeing the almanac.
The government officials have been neglecting the work assuming that the government will collapse. They should be warned. So, I have called their meetings from Monday. I will take tough decisions in future”, he said.
Neither the BJP nor Yeddyurappa want the development of the state. They have been working on how to destabilize the coalition government. Let them prepare either the resort or hut. He was ready for everything, he said.
“Some MLAs of the BJP have good old relationship with me. Earlier, I have formed the government along with them. I will not touch the Mysuru region BJP MLAs. Why should you people drag them into this issue? The list of MLAs with the media people is different and the list with us is different”, he clarified.
“Development of the state is important for me. I have to work for people. Why should I do the work the BJP people are doing? It is my responsibility to protect my government. I’ll do whatever I require to save my government”, he said.
“I am going to Belagavi tomorrow. After participating in the programme of the President, I will listen to the grievances of the people at Janata Darshan programme. All ministers including Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi are with me”, he clarified.
Let the Truth be known. If you read VB and like VB, please be a VB Supporter and Help us deliver the Truth to one and all.
Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
