I MADE A MISTAKE BY GROOMING KARNATAKA CM, SAYS DEVE GOWDA
Former PM Deve Gowda said grooming Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah was his “biggest mistake.”
“He (Siddaramaiah) is a mean chief minister,” Gowda said while complaining that he was not given an opportunity to speak during the inauguration of Mahamastakabhisheka of Lord Gommateshwara Bahubali at Shravanabelagola on February 7, which was attended by President Ram Nath Kovind.
Stating that his name was printed on the invitation as former Prime Minister and chief minister and as Lok Sabha member and speaker at the event for “namesake”, he said “but I had no chance to speak.
The chief minister who is mean to this extent, has grown from this party (JD-S). Is he a chief minister? How long will you stay? I will see. I have taken a vow. I will today seek apology from the people of Karnataka for grooming such an immoral politician,” he said.
“Grooming such a lowly chief minister is my biggest mistake. I will repeatedly say he is unfit to continue in the post,” a visibly upset Gowda remarked at a party event.
