Davangere: Former prime minister and JDS supremo, H D Deve Gowda and his family have been called out several times, over the course of their political careers, for going to temples to offer prayers on a regular basis. Taking a dig at the family along these lines, Honnali MLA M P Renukacharya of the BJP, said on Sunday, that HDD and his sons (Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy and state minister H D Revanna) should be given a PhD in shedding tears and indulging in black magic.
While speaking to the media, Renukacharya accused the family of going on temple runs and indulging in black magic in order to remain in power and gain financial success.
He also alleged that the CM has time to visit temples but not to address the grievances of his people.
He also alleged that Public Works Minister, H D Revanna would travel from Hassan to the Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru for sessions with a lemon in hand, as per his astrologer’s advice, just so he would get a particular bungalow.
