Forget Devaraj Urs’ Record, Siddaramaiah Will Be Congress’ Last CM in Karnataka: HDK
Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah claims that he will break the record of Devaraj Urs. “What merit does he have for all this? Looking at the condition of the State, his record deserves to be buried,” Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy said sarcastically.
Addressing a press conference at the JD(S) State office, JP Bhavan, the Union Minister said that Siddaramaiah, who boasts of having administered the State for a long time, is in fact a textbook example of bad governance. He expressed anguish, stating that Siddaramaiah’s administrative record deserves to be consigned to dust.
“Karnataka, which once stood as a testimony to good governance, has today become an example of inefficiency and poor administration. Where is Devaraj Urs, and where are these people? Forget about breaking Urs’ record, he himself will be the last Chief Minister of the Congress party in this State. Voters will teach Congress a lesson. Those who claim they will win the next election will be taught a fitting lesson by the electorate,” he warned.
“The last two-and-a-half years of governance will go down in history as one of the worst administrations. Corruption, murder, extortion, drug mafia activities and honour killings have continued unabated. Unable to curb any of this, it appears that Siddaramaiah’s government is functioning merely for the sake of setting records. Officers have been reduced to slaves. Under this administration, officials are working like bonded labourers, with no freedom whatsoever. You won’t find a single good officer,” he said, launching a scathing attack.
On the issue of law and order in the State, the Union Minister said that the Chief Minister and the Home Minister are behaving like impostors. The Home Minister does not even understand the authority of his office. Whenever an incident occurs, they wash their hands of it by forming an SIT and speaking softly, he charged.
