Bengaluru, October 12, 2021 (www.justkannada.in): Former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has alleged that the former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is the reason for the recent Income Tax Department raid on the house of one of the former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa’s close aide.
Speaking in Mysuru today he said that the reason behind the raid is because Siddaramaiah visited Yedyurappa. “Siddaramaiah will do anything for power. His visiting Yedyurappa is also a part of this game. He is so hungry for power that he will do anything to get it. Even the center has collected information about this. Hence, they conducted the raid in order to control Yedyurappa. Political purpose is clearly visible behind this raid, there is no doubt in it,” he alleged.
In his response to the Sindhagi byelections, H.D.Kumaraswamy said the Congress party is not to be considered at all. “Congress is always in the third place in that constituency. It is a direct fight between JDS and BJP. We have fielded the candidate after thinking a lot. Yes, we have fielded this candidate in order to teach Siddaramaiah a lesson. Why should we field a candidate from our party as per his wish? who is he? JDS is going to give a tough fight in both the constituencies,” he added.
