Bengaluru: Freedom fighter and thinker H S Doreswamy has spelled out his opinion on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allegedly targeting the Vokkaliga community.
Addressing the gathering on the occasion of the book release programme on former chief minister Siddaramaiah, authored by Ka Tha Chikkanna, he said, “PM Modi has applied the policy of divided rule. He is targeting the Vokkaliga community because he has got massive majority mandate. You never know when he will transform into a dictator.”
He opined that a protest to save democracy made more sense rather than protests in support of Congress leader D K Shivakumar.
Meanwhile, lashing out at the disqualified legislators, Doreswamy said, “Political parties have given ticket to hypocrites based on their caste and money power. Now they have gone and have surrendered to some other party. Former assembly speaker Ramesh Kumar has taken a right decision by disqualifying such people.”
Former chief minister Siddaramaiah, former assembly speaker Ramesh Kumar, MLC H M Revanna and others were present.
