I was in Congress first: HD Deve Gowda
Bengaluru, August 12: Former prime minister and JDS supremo HD Deve gowda said that he was in Congress earlier and when it was divided, he had gone to rebel Congress.
Speaking to reporters at Ravindra Kala Kshetra here on Sunday, Gowda said that first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had laid a strong foundation for democracy in the country. But today, he was being criticized and targeted in the Parliament. The country and the leaders have reached to that level which is shame, he opined.
When the Congress which was instrumental in gaining the freedom to the country has started losing its importance in the political arena, regional parties came into existence. Why did the Congress reach to such a low level? It's unfortunate that the Congress does not have a strong leader in south India, he said.
"I don't have single black mark on me. No one dared to make allegation against me", he claimed.
