'Shah-Kumaraswamy met on flight', says Siddaramaiah: 'Was he drunk', asks JD(S)
Amit Shah and H D Kumaraswamy travelled on a flight together recently and this shows that there is a secret tie-up between the BJP and JD(S) in Karnataka, Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah claimed.
Siddaramaiah said that he would produce proof of the same when necessary while adding that the two parties had entered into a tacit understanding ahead of the Karnataka assembly elections.
"His
statements
are
baseless
and
are
unbecoming
of
a
Chief
Minister",
Kumaraswamy
said.
"I
have
not
reached
such
a
situation
and
let
them
produce
whatever
evidence
they
had",
Kumaraswamy
also
said.
Let
him
speak
up
the
truth
or
we
may
have
to
conclude
that
he
was
drunk
when
he
made
the
statement",
he
further
added.
The party, in a press release, said, "A fake air ticket is being circulated in media circles to prove that Shah travelled with Kumaraswamy. So, we have released a similar fake air ticket showing Siddaramaiah and Zameer Ahmed Khan travelled from Karachi to Bengaluru."
