Yeddyurappa should mind his language: Kumaraswamy warns
Bengaluru: I am warning. Mind your language. Retain the respect of your age. Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy warned senior BJP leader BS Yeddyurappa.
Kumaraswamy warned Yeddyurappa over his ‘father-son looters’ remark, which he has passed on Wednesday.
The Chief Minister said this while speaking to reporters after visiting the water resources minister DK Shivakumar, who is suffering from food poisoning, at Sheshadripura Apollo Hospital
Yeddyurappa is senior to me in politics as well as in age. It's better if he controls his words. Earlier in 2008, he had said, "my politics is to finish father-son, my aim is to imprison father-son." But who went to jail? Kumaraswamy jibed.
Now Yeddyurappa has stated that he will soon be sending DK Shivakumar to jail. He is telling ‘father and son are looters”. Kumaraswamy warned Yeddyurappa that he should stop talking lightly about father-son.
“Yeddyurappa, who has looted the state, is now accusing us. So far I am patient. I know what to do as the government is in my hands. So I want to advise Yeddyurappa to be cautious," he warned.
Kumaraswamy accused Yeddyurappa of plotting to hijack 18 MLAs, including Congress’ CS Sivalli, and JDS’ Suresh Gowda.
Kumaraswamy said that with DK Shivakumar he discussed the BJP’s political activities in the state.

Minor boy strangled to death for ransom in UP's Sultanpur
Sultanpur (PTI): A debt-ridden neighbour allegedly kidnapped and murdered an 11-year-old boy boy at Sultanpur, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, Asif alias Sonu, demanded a ransom of Rs 5,00,000 for releasing Osama alias Sahil to repay his debts, Kotwali police station SHO Naradmuni Singh said.
"The incident took place in the Gandhinagar locality of Sultanpur. The victim's father, Mohd Shakeel, said his son went missing on Monday night after he left to attend a wedding procession. Despite searches, there was no trace of the child," the SHO said.
On Wednesday morning, Osama's body with strangulation marks was found at the residence of the accused whom the police arrested, he said.
Asif, who lives in the same neighbourhood as the victim, exploited the trust built between the two families to carry out the crime, the officer said.
The killing of the minor boy has triggered outrage in the area with the residents demanding stringent punishment for the accused.
The victim's family has called for death penalty for Asif.
