Kumaraswamy indulging in black mailing tactics on transfer of power

Bangalore, Sep 7 (UNI) Former Karnataka Minister and Senior Congress leader H Vishwanath today charged Chief Minister H D Kumarswamy of indulging in 'black mailing tactics' in handing over power to its coalition partner BJP.

Talking to newsmen here, he said that JD(S) should transfer the power on October Three as agreed during the formation of the coalition government.

"Mr Kumarswamy had humiliated Deputy Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa by creating confusion in handing over the Chief Minister's post to him," he alleged.

Mr Vishwanath alleged that the Chief Minister was busy in handling the transfer of officials in pivotal posts depending on various counts before the actual transfer of power takes place.

Mr Vishwanath also criticised JD(S) National President and former Prime Minister H D Devegowda for amassing wealth by his family members and they were now no more called themselves as 'Mannina Makkalu' or Sons of the Soil but Jaminadars for owning lands.
