'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.

New Delhi, Feb 3: BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde's swipe at Mahatma Gandhi has irked the top party leadership and he may be forced to apologise, party sources said on Monday.

A senior BJP leader said the Karnataka leader's comments were "condemnable" and the party leadership is upset with him.

"The party has conveyed its displeasure to him and asked him to take remedial measure. Any insult to Mahatma Gandhi is unacceptable," he said.

Hegde, a former Union minister, reportedly claimed at an event in Bangaluru that the entire freedom movement was staged with the consent and support of the British, and the independence movement led by Gandhi was a "drama".

He also wondered why the Father of the Nation was called 'Mahatma' (a great soul).

The party leader said the Lok Sabha MP is a "disciplined" member of the party and will do what he has been asked to.

Hegde, known for hardline Hindutva leanings, has a history of making controversial remarks.

This man and some others like him have reached the peak of their madness.

 

They will not change their attitude, as they know that nobody can do any harm to them.

 

Therefore they will listen only to dire action what they deserve per the penal code. If required put him behind bars.

Dont harm them more, see their families.
