Ex-CM will launch campaign against govt

JD(S) leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy today said he will soon launch a movement over “maladministration” of the BJP government. Kumaraswamy’s announcement comes close on the heels of his father and JDS chief H D Deve Gowda launching a “farmers awakening tour” to protest alleged acquisition of farm land for creation of land bank.

“I have been accused of being responsible for BJP coming to power in Karnataka. I will have to do something now.I plan to launch a campaign against maladministration of BJP government, which has put up its decisions for sale,” Kumaraswamy told reporters here.

 

Flaying Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa’s governance, he alleged that finances were in a shambles and development had come to a halt. “Yeddyurappa now says his coming budget will have more programmes for farmers. What happened to those announced in his last budget,” he asked.
