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.

Congress voices concern over safety of minorities in Bangladesh
New Delhi (PTI): The Congress on Wednesday expressed deep concern over the "atmosphere of insecurity" being faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh and the arrest of Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das.
In a statement, Chairman of the party's Media and Publicity Department Pawan Khera said, "The Indian National Congress expects the government of India to prevail upon the Bangladesh government to take necessary steps and ensure security of life and property of minorities in the country".
"The Indian National Congress expresses its deep concern at the atmosphere of insecurity being faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh. The arrest of the ISCKON monk is the latest example," he said.
A lawyer was killed on Tuesday during clashes between security personnel and followers of Das, who was denied bail and sent to jail by a court in the port city of Chattogram in Bangladesh in a sedition case.
Das, the spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka a day earlier.
India on Tuesday noted with "deep concern" the arrest and denial of bail to the Hindu leader, and urged authorities in the neighbouring country to ensure the safety and security of Hindus and all other minority groups.
Bangladesh reacted sharply to the Ministry of External Affairs statement, saying it was unfounded and stood contrary to the spirit of friendship between the two countries.
In its statement, Dhaka said it does not interfere with the country's judiciary, which is fully independent
