'Don't know what will happen after one year'

Pavagada, Jun 17: A day after Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy expressed doubts over the longevity of the JD(S)-Congress coalition government, former prime minister H D Deve Gowda on Saturday echoed similar views.

Speaking to reporters in Pavagada after taking part in the inauguration of a temple, Gowda said, “It is God’s blessings that a national party that has won 78 seats has supported a party that won 38 seats. Kumarswamy is pained that he did not get majority. He is suffering a lot because of this. God is testing him, despite giving him power. He has to struggle to pass this exam.”

He said though Kumaraswamy had promised farm loan waiver and pension for senior citizens, he failed to get majority. “The coalition government will surely complete one year. I don’t know what will happen thereafter. However, the Congress has asked Kumaraswamy to serve as chief minister for five years,” he said.

The fissures in the government came to the fore on Saturday with senior JD(S) leader Basavaraj Horatti expressing apprehension that the Congress  was armtwisting Kumarswamy and not allowing him to function smoothly. As a result of this, the coalition government may not last long, he told reporters in Dharwad.

Horatti said Kumarswamy was interested in overall development of the State but the Congress was applying brakes to his model of development.

‘The Congress had proposed formation of a coalition government saying its support was unconditional. But, now the Congress is putting hurdles at every stage. Considering this, Kumarswamy has restricted his tenure as chief minister for just one year” Horatti said.

“The leaders who demanded Lingayat religion have been snubbed by denying Cabinet berth”, he said. Being a senior legislator he should not have been denied a berth in the Kumarswamy Cabinet, he added.

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday demanded that the state government drop its plan to provide doorstep delivery of liquor.

"After faltering in mopping up revenue, the state government is mulling over allowing doorstep delivery of liquor by enabling online sales and starting new MSIL liquor shops in rural areas. I demand that the state government drop its plans," he tweeted.

"I came to know that the excise commissioner is keen to hold talks with a private firm to enable online sale of liquor. The government should back out from such a foolish decision. Otherwise, agitation is inevitable," Kumaraswamy said.

He said opening new liquor shops or online delivery will ruin the health of society.

"Post-COVID outbreak and subsequent lockdown, people are facing financial distress, struggling to lead day-to-day life. 

The government must withdraw such an imprudent decision to deliver liquor at doorsteps. Opening new liquor shops or the decision of online delivery in times of distress like this will spoil society's health. 

It is not fair for the government to fill its coffers by robbing people's money," he said in a series of tweets.
