Stop hate politics in Mandya, Deve Gowda tells CM; threatens to stage protest outside CM's residence
Bengaluru: JD (S) Supremo HD Deve Gowda has threatened to protest on June 29 outside Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa's house if the latter failed to stop the hate politics in KR Pet, in Mandya District.
The Rajya Sabha member and former Prime Minister said that he has not witnessed such a situation in the taluk in his 60 years of political life. “The minister in charge of Mandya is avenging the outcome of polls against H T Manju, a member of the JDS,” Gowda has alleged.
“Manju has taken permission from all concerned departments to open a quarry and stone crushing unit. Yet, the local political rivalry is preventing him from running his business. The concerned officials and representatives should be instructed to let Manju run his business as per law,” said Gowda, adding, “If the government fails to handle the matter transparently, I will have to stage a protest”.
