Mysuru: The war of words between former CM Siddaramaiah, who is also the chairman of the coalition government coordination committee and the JDS leaders has further escalated. On Sunday, Siddaramaiah and PWD minister HD Revanna were involved in a war of words.
In Mysuru, former CM Siddaramaiah took on CM H D Kumaraswamy by opting to reply to latter’s statement that some are trying to destabilise the government.
Siddaramaiah, responding to the same said that people making such vague statements must explain it themselves.
“Ask the questions to HDK; not to me. It was he who had made the statement,” he told the reporters adding that it is the people who have expressed their wish of seeing him (Siddaramaiah) as the CM of the state again.
The row erupted with Siddaramaiah reportedly saying that he wishes to become the CM of the state again and the coalition partner JD(S) raking up the statement, intending to say indirectly that Siddaramaiah is trying to topple the government for his own greed.
Meanwhile, PWD minister HD Revanna reacted sharply to Siddaramaiah’s statement. Speaking to the reporters, Revanna stated that coalition government is like a boat and few are trying to drown it. “But the boat will travel till God wishes,” he said.
But a few minutes later, Food and civil supplies minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan tried to end the row by saying that marriage between the JDS and the Congress has been registered and it will not collapse.
