I was humiliated by women members of Gowda family, claims JD(S) MLA

Bengaluru, Jul 8: KR Pet rebel JD(S) MLA KC Narayana Gowda on Sunday held women members of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda’s family responsible for his decision to resign his assembly membership.

"I was repeatedly humiliated by women members of Gowda’s family. They interfered in my constituency work and supported my opponents. Both Gowda and his son chief minister HD Kumaraswamy did nothing to help me despite my repeated requests," Nayarana Gowda told reporters.

He claimed he was made to stand in a corner in Gowda’s house when he went there while his opponents from his constituency were made to sit at the dining table with them.

Gowda, a second-time MLA, and nine other rebel MLAs have been camping in a Mumbai hotel since Saturday evening. He refuted charges that he was joining the BJP for monetary considerations. "I decided to resign owing to ill-treatment meted out to me in JD(S) and nothing else," he said.

Narayana Gowda also said Kumaraswamy doesn’t have a free hand and he’s under pressure from his family members as well as state Congress leaders.

Another Congress rebel MLA BC Patil also trained his guns on both Congress and JD(S) leadership for ignoring his claim for a ministerial berth and also not taking up any developmental work in North Karnataka. "This government is there for only two or three districts. Neither do MLAs get respect nor are their constituencies being taken care of by this government. The earlier this government goes, the better for the state," Patil said, adding that there’s no question of returning to the Congress.

JD(S) state president AH Vishwanath also blamed the Gowda family for not giving him a free hand. "I was a JD(S) state unit president only in name,” he said.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: BJP leader CP Yogeshwar has slammed Yediyurappa supporters and said the JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy is supporting BJP.

Speaking to the reporters, Yogeshwar said, "Congress president DK Shivakumar and Janata Dal (Secular) leader and former CM HD Kumaraswamy, both are Yediyurappa supporters."

"His words seem to support the BJP. All that Kumaraswamy had said, during our government's rule, are happening including the officers they mentioned are being transferred. He has come forward to support BJP from the back door," Yogeshwar.

While reacting to allegations made by CP Yogeshwar, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president DK Shivakumar has said that earlier Yogeshwar requested for State Legislative Council (MLC) member ticket and now such people are blaming me without any evidence. This shows his dishonesty to his party and the kind of person he is."
