HDK indulging in blackmailing tactics: Congress
Bangalore,
Sep
7:
Former
Karnataka
Minister
and
senior
Congress
leader
H
Vishwanath
today
charged
Chief
Minister
H
D
Kumaraswamy
with
using
'blackmailing
tactics'
in
handing
over
power
to
his
coalition
partner
BJP.
Talking
to
newsmen
here,
he
said
the
JD(S)
should
transfer
power
on
October
3,
as
agreed
during
the
formation
of
the
coalition
government.
''Mr Kumaraswamy 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 the Chief Minister was busy in handling the transfer of officials in pivotal posts depending on various counts before the actual transfer of power took place.
Mr Vishwanath also criticised JD(S) National President and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda 'for amassing wealth by his family members and they were now no more called as 'Mannina Makkalu' or Sons of the Soil but zaminadars for owning lands.'
