Coalition collapse: Kumaraswamy targets Siddaramaiah again

Attacking Congress leader Siddaramaiah and holding him responsible for the collapse of the coalition government in Karnataka, JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy has asked him to "honestly" respond to questions about "damage" in the alliance between the two parties.

Kumaraswamy, who headed the coalition then, told his former alliance partner that his party did not want any truck with him.

"What kind of support you (Siddaramaiah) gave during Lok Sabha polls? Who was in the heart of MLAs who were responsible for the collapse of the government? Will you honestly answer this question "who"? ..I'm indebted for your cooperation and support.

I won't forget in this life. We too don't want your company," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

Asked about once again joining hands with the JD(S), if the BJP government fell after the December 5 bypolls to 15 constituencies, Siddaramaiah on Thursday had said, "We have got an experience from that (joining with JD(S)), and instead will go for polls."
Kumaraswamy in another tweet asked "who asked Siddaramaiah to join hands with us?
Coming to Kumaraswamy's defence, Gowda on Friday said what his son has said, is a "fact."
The former Prime Minister said Siddaramaiah had agreed for alliance and for Kumaraswamy to be Chief Minister following the decision from Congress high command, "but, at the end punished us."
