Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday tried to downplay the episode of an audio clip of Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister J.C. Madhuswamy purportedly saying that the government is not functioning, going viral. Defending the Minister, he said, “there is no need for any misunderstanding” about his comments.
Mr. Madhuswamy has come under sharp criticism from his Cabinet colleagues, who have urged him to resign following his remarks about the functioning of the government.
In response to a question, the Chief Minister said, “I have spoken to the Minister and there is no need for any misunderstanding. Everything is fine in the government and there is no problem.”
