Continuing his attack on the ruling government, former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy hinted at the possible collapse of the Congress government in Karnataka after the Lok Sabha polls, claiming that a top Minister had already held talks with BJP leaders at the Centre.
Speaking to presspersons in Hassan on Sunday, December 10, Mr. Kumaraswamy said he had information that a Congress Minister consulted BJP senior leaders at the Centre assuring that he would come out with 50 legislators. “A Minister has gone to the leaders at the Centre with an application to join them after the Lok Sabha polls. He has sought ‘relief’ for another six months so that he can join them with 50 or 60 MLAs,” he said. However, he did not spell out the name of the Congress Minister.
“Anything can happen after the Lok Sabha polls,” he said. “Something similar to what happened in Maharashtra can happen here too. Nobody is honest or committed to the party. They will look after their individual benefits. This has happened all along in politics,” the former Chief Minister said.
