Udupi: Siddaramaiah has lost his mental stability after losing power, said Udupi-Chikkamagalur MP Shobha Karandlajee during a press meet in the city.
She was responding to Siddaramaiah’s statement that the BJP and JD(S) made an internal agreement. “Siddaramaiah became the Leader of the Opposition by blackmailing the Congress party. He has no control over the party. The BJP will the by-election on its own,” she stated, adding that the BJP will rule for the next three-and-a-half years.
“The people have seen how Siddaramaiah has been trying to divide the people on the basis of religion and caste. His cunning behaviour has been seen by the people,” she said.
Asked if D K Shivakumar’s release could impact the upcoming by-elections, she answered in the negative. “D K Shivakumar might have some influence in Kanakapura and we agree that winning that district is still difficult, but D K Shivakumar has no influence in the state. The people of the state understand his cunning tactics,” she said.
