Bengaluru, May 24: Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Thursday said that his father and former prime minister H D Deve Gowda gave him advices on politics and development works.

“It was the first time I met him after becoming chief minister. We discussed several things. He gave me some political advice and advice on how to take Karnataka on the path of development,” Kumaraswamy told media persons after visiting his father at latter’s Padmanabhanagar residence.

Kumaraswamy lashed out at the BJP leaders for spending time criticising the Congress-JD(S) coalition and calling it an unholy alliance. “BJP leaders should stop the brickbats. Their time is spent only in criticising us,” the CM said.

Kumaraswamy also sought the blessings of Pattanayakanahalli Nanjadhoota Swami, followed by a visit to the Adichunchanagiri Mutt and then the Siddaganga Mutt in Tumakuru.

On waiving farm loans, a poll promise he had made, Kumaraswamy said it was his top priority. “Let there be no doubt in this. I will announce the loan waiver soon after discussing it with Congress leaders.”
