Sep 29, 2024
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India] Sep 29 : Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar today criticised Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy for his comments on M Chandrashekhar, ADGP of the special investigation team (SIT) of Lokayukta.
"Kumaraswamy doesn't know what he is saying. What is the connection between the KPCC office and Lokayukta ADGP Chandrashekar," he questioned when asked about Kumaraswamy's allegation that Chandrashekar had received a letter from the KPCC.
He was speaking to reporters in Nelamangala.
"I haven't been in Bengaluru of late as I have been travelling to Sathnur and Kanakapura. What can I say if Kumaraswamy remembers KPCC," he said.
Asked about Kumaraswamy's statement that he has documents of alleged corruption by seven ministers in the Congress government, he said, "Let him release the documents if he has them. I haven't even seen or met Chandrashekar; I don't know what he is talking about," he added.
Kumaraswamy on Saturday criticised the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government over the alleged MUDA scam, accusing the administration of engaging in unethical practices by filing FIRs and arresting those who oppose them.
Kumaraswamy alleged that the state government is plotting to implicate him. "The CM and his cabinet are trying to firefight the MUDA scam. This government has been involved in immoral practices by filing FIRs and arresting people who oppose them but why was a FIR not filed for 48 hours despite order being passed in Siddaramaiah's case. This government, including the Home Minister, are conspiring to frame me. They are conducting meetings with top cops and ministers to conspire against me," he claimed.
Asked about BJP MP Sudhakar's statements about separating Solur from Magadi taluk and adding it to Nelamangala taluk, he said, "Congress MLA Srinivas has been following up with the Chief Minister for the last one year about adding Solur to Nelamangala taluk. Entire credit for that goes to Srinivas. Sudhakar has been making public statements, trying to take credit for that. All credit for any development in Nelamangala must go to Congress MLA Srinivas."
