Kalaburgi: Former chief minister and CLP leader Siddaramaiah has slammed Janata Dal (S) State President A H Vishwanath, here on Sunday, May 12.
As a counter reaction to Vishwanath’s statement that Siddaramaiah was not a popular chief minister, he said, “Who is he and what does he know about me? He is jealous on me.”
“I’ve not considered myself as a chief minister of popular choice. It is left for the people to decide. He must understand this first”, he added.
He also reacted to Vishwanath’s questions of why Siddaramaiah being such a popular CM could manage to get only 75 seats in the 2018 Assembly election.
He said, “The main reason for this, is the false propaganda spread by the BJP through campaigning. Former union foreign affairs minister S M Krishna too had faced the same situation like me, when he was the chief minister of the state.”
Meanwhile, he has opined that the general election results on May 23 had nothing to do with the state politics and that the state government will function well.
