Countering JD(S) supremo H.D. Deve Gowda’s statement that the Congress will see its end under Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his Deputy D.K. Shivakumar’s leadership and the regional party’s alliance with the BJP was aimed at “demolishing” the grand old party, Mr. Siddaramaiah on Saturday said the “curse” was a result of the “bad company” the former Prime Minister is keeping of late.
“Despite his curse, we wish him and his party long life and good health. Regardless of political differences, elders should always bless the younger ones and not curse them,” the Chief Minister said on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter).
