MLC Ivan D’Souza said let the BJP seek the resignation of Union minister HD Kumaraswamy, who appeared before the Lokayukta as part of an investigation.
Will they seek the resignation of Kumaraswamy too. Kumaraswamy also appeared before the Lokayukta. Did he submit his resignation. BJP State President BY Vijayendra has 14 cases registered by the ED. Let the BJP seek a CBI probe into Vijayendra’s cases too, the MLC told media persons.
He said that the BJP has no faith in democracy, the Constitution, and the courts. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah abided by the court direction and appeared before the Lokayukta, upholding the law of the land. However, the BJP ridiculed the appearance of the Chief Minister before the Lokayukta. The same BJP that demanded an investigation is now calling the Chier Minister’s appearance an eyewash. They also suspect the Lokayukta questioning is just a gimmick to submit a B report in the case. This indicates that the BJP has no faith in democracy, the courts, the Lokayukta, and investigations, Ivan said.
Stating that Siddaramaiah’s hands are clean and free from corruption, the MLC said that voters in Karnataka gave a majority to the Congress, and the government fulfilled its promises by implementing guarantee schemes, where Rs 53,000 crore goes directly to the people.
The BJP is not able to digest the success of guarantee schemes. I request the BJP to have faith in democracy, the Constitution, and constitutional institutions and support the government, he said, and termed the BJP the most ineligible opposition that does not have concern towards people.
