Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on July 24 claimed that a conspiracy is being hatched to topple the Congress government in Karnataka.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Mr Shivakumar, who is also the president of the KPCC, said that a “strategy” is underway in Singapore against the Congress government in the State.
Mr. Shivakumar made the comments when he was asked about former Chief Minister and JD (S) leader H D Kumaraswamy’s trip to Singapore, after he jointly conducted a press conference with former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai of the BJP on Friday. Both BJP and JD (S) legislators boycotted the legislature following suspension of 10 BJP MLAs by Speaker U T Khader on the grounds of “indiscipline and unruly behaviour”.
