"No comments", Siddaramaiah says about DKShi's remark on Kanakpura's merger with Bengaluru
Mysuru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has refused to comment on the ongoing argument among Karnataka politicians regarding Kanakapura belonging to Bengaluru district rather than Ramanagara, saying Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar had not discussed the matter with him.
Speaking to reporters in the city on Wednesday, Siddaramaiah said, "Please ask him (DK Shivakumar) about the Ramanagara issue. I am unaware of what his views or plans are, in the matter. He has not discussed it with me and I do not wish to comment on a topic regarding which I am in the dark."
Shivakumar, who represents the Kanakapura constituency in the Karnataka Assembly, had publicly declared in Kanakapura on Tuesday, "We belong not to Ramanagara district, but to Bengaluru district. Kanakapura, therefore, will be merged with Bengaluru very soon."
Severely criticizing the Deputy CM, JD(S) senior leader and former Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy had said that Shivakumar was merely attempting to legalize his illegal holds. "This is a new drama being presented to ensure his (Shivakumar's) benami properties get converted into 'sakrama'. He is also trying to increase the rate of his property and assets by doing so," Kumaraswamy had hit back at Shivakumar.
