Bengaluru: Housing and Minority Welfare Minister of Karnataka, Zameer Ahmed Khan, has issued a strong challenge to former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy following the latter's recent remarks regarding the Muslim community's support. Kumaraswamy, who expressed his dissatisfaction with the Muslim community's response to the JD(S), was dared by Minister Khan to reveal how he secured his victory in Channapatnam.
Speaking to reporters in the city, Minister Khan stated, "Let me tell you with my heart that if the Muslim community had not voted in Channapatnam, he would not have won."
He further challenged several other JD(S) leaders by mentioning their constituencies and asserting that the Muslim community's votes played a pivotal role in their victories. Minister Khan emphasized that the Muslim community's support significantly contributed to the JD(S) gaining 19 seats, which would have been considerably fewer without their backing.
Minister Khan expressed his disapproval of Kumaraswamy's recent alliance with the BJP, emphasizing that it contradicted the values and principles of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, who opposed the communal BJP. He accused Kumaraswamy of compromising on Gowda's philosophy for the sake of his political interests.
