The Congress has accused former Chief Minister and JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy of eying the post of Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, with the support of BJP.
At a press conference in Mysuru on Monday, July 17, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson Manjula Manasa referred to Mr. Kumaraswamy’s repeated attack against the Congress and its leadership in Karnataka clearly showed that the JD(S) leader was planning to grab the post of Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly.
Mr. Kumaraswamy has stepped up his attack on the Congress government after the BJP had failed to identify its leader of the Opposition despite winning 65 seats in the recently held Assembly elections. Mr. Kumaraswamy, whose JD(S) had won only 19 seats, was planning to occupy the post of Leader of Opposition with the support of BJP, she alleged.
