“This is the last Congress government in the State. It will neither be re-elected nor will it come to power in any other future elections,” the former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar said in Hubballi on Sunday. Mr. Shettar, who quit the BJP before the Assembly elections to join the Congress, recently re-joined the BJP.
“Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, who keeps claiming that the Congress guarantees will last 10 years, is living in an imaginary land. This is the last Congress government in the State. It will never come back to power,” Mr. Shettar said.
He also countered Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s criticism of the BJP State leadership saying Mr. Siddaramaiah does not seem to know the history of the Congress.
