JDS will win 113 seats in Karnataka; my brother will be CM: Revanna

Shivamogga, Nov 3: JD(S) leader and Holenarsipur MLA H D Revanna has expressed confidence that his party would win at least 113 seats in 2018 Karnataka assembly polls and his younger brother H D Kumaraswamy would become chief minister again.

Speaking to media persons he said that the party has already finalised its candidates for 140 Assembly constituencies for the elections. The meeting of the core committee of JD(S) State unit will be held shortly after which the list of 140 candidates will be released, he said.

He said that as announced earlier, the party will face the elections by projecting its State unit president H.D. Kumaraswamy as the Chief Ministerial candidate. The party is confident that he will be the CM again, he said.

Mr. Revanna said the Congress and the BJP have failed to respond to the woes of farmers in Karnataka. Owing to depletion of groundwater level and diseases triggered by successive droughts, 1.83 crore arecanut trees and over 44 lakh coconut trees have completely dried up in the State in the past three years. The farmers are unable to cultivate agricultural crops owing to scanty rain and low water storage in reservoirs, he said.

The MLA said that the Union Ministers from Karnataka have failed to apprise Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the agricultural crisis here. He said if JD(S) comes to power in the State, the crop loan borrowed by farmers from nationalised as well as cooperative banks will be waived. Taking exception to BJP’s Karnataka Parivartan Yatra, he said such political gimmicks were uncalled for when farmers were in dire straits.

Bengaluru, Apr 16: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr Ashwath Narayan today said that if former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, being a law-abiding citizen, does not follow guidelines then action will be taken against him.

The Deputy CM made this comment when he was asked about Kumaraswamy's son Nikhil's marriage, which has been fixed on April 17 at a farmhouse near Bidadi in Ramnagar.

Narayan said: "Any violation of the guidelines will not be tolerated. We will ask the concerned authority to film the entire event and document it."

He said that so far Kumaraswamy has made public statements that guidelines will be followed.

"HD Kumaraswamy is a people's representative. He has been in public life for a long time. He should abide by the guidelines," Narayan said.

"Since he has been in a responsible position for a long time and he was the Chief Minister, guidelines must be followed in his son's marriage as per the rules amid COVID-19 scare.

After the marriage, there must not be any excuses. He cannot say that people came without an invitation," the Deputy Chief Minister added.

Kumaraswamy clarified that only his family members will attend the marriage and that there will be around 60 to 70 people.

"All guidelines will be followed as per the central government directives," he said.
