Deve Gowda hits out at Rahul Gandhi, asks him not to test his patience

Bengaluru, Mar 27: Days after his two sons – H D Revanna and H D Kumaraswamy – lashed out at AICC president Rahul Gandhi for terming JD(S) as the “B-team of the BJP”, the party supremo H D Deve Gowda on Monday launched a direct attack on him and issued a him a warning against testing his patience

Addressing reporters, 84-year-old former prime minister called Rahul immature and accused his party of being “pseudo-secular and making compromises for remaining in power”. He reiterated that his party would sit in the Opposition in case of a fractured mandate.

Cautioning Rahul to be "careful," Gowda asked the Congress leader not to test his patience, that he would no more tolerate his "irresponsible" statements. He took a swipe at Rahul for his dependence on a "chit" for attacking the JD(S).

"Rahul has charged that JD(S) is BJP's 'B' team - he has compared JD(S) to the Sangh Parivar. He has even asked the JD(S) to come clean on its secular credentials - whether my party is supporting the BJP. You want to question my credentials young man, when you are not even aware of the events of the past? You need to first understand which Congress is there in Karnataka - Indira Gandhi Congress, Sonia Gandhi Congress or Siddaramaiah Congress. If you have the maturity, you will understand these realities. You will not be making accusations against the JD(S) by reading out speeches, written by somebody else, from a chit of paper," he said.

Dubbing the Congress as an opportunist party, Gowda said he had faced betrayal by it. He said that he had endorsed Sonia Gandhi to the prime minister's post at a time when the opposition had branded her as an outsider.

"The least she could do was to be grateful to me. But her party ungraciously withdrew support when I was the prime minister. Why did they withdraw support? I had no corruption charges against me - unlike Siddaramaiah, who is facing a flurry of corruption charges," he said.

He said that the JD(S) would not forge ties with either the BJP or the Congress. If his party fails to get a majority in the elections, it was "happy" to sit in the opposition benches, he added.

Two separate cases were registered against Hari. He was booked under sections 153 A (promoting enmity between different groups) 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) and 298 (uttering words etc, with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings) of the Indian Penal Code.

City police commissioner Sumit Sharan said, “We collected CCTV footage and found a man, who had parked his motorcycle near the two temples and returned from the temples. Based on the registration number, we traced and arrested Hari.”

Commissioner added that the city has CCTV cameras in many places and it helped police officials crack the case faster. The police said he purchased one kg of pork meat from a shop at Kavundamapalaym last Friday morning and placed it in front of the temples on the same day.
