Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy responded sharply to Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, highlighting that no one remains in power indefinitely. Speaking at the party’s State Headquarters in Bengaluru, Kumaraswamy dismissed Shivakumar’s claims and questioned his priorities, accusing him of neglecting certain districts for personal interests. He emphasized the need for responsible governance that benefits the entire state, not just specific areas.
Kumaraswamy criticized Shivakumar for focusing solely on Bengaluru South, renaming Ramanagara district accordingly. He pointed out the Chief Minister’s failure to address development needs in other regions, questioning his commitment to the overall welfare of Karnataka. Kumaraswamy also challenged Shivakumar’s stance on infrastructure projects and urged transparency in decision-making processes.
Referring to specific instances of neglect in Kanakapura and Ramanagara, Kumaraswamy highlighted the lack of basic amenities like electricity and roads in these areas. He defended his own efforts in local development and called for accountability from Shivakumar regarding past promises and opposition to proposed initiatives. The ongoing dispute underscores the political tensions between the two leaders in Karnataka.
