KPCC President D.K.Shivakumar is making baseless allegations since did not have any issue to speak and the non-rejection of the nomination papers of any candidate is evidence disproved his charges.The process ended on Friday, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
He was reacting to Shivakumar’s allegation that there has been pressure from the Chief Minister’s Office to reject the nomination papers of the Congress candidates here on Saturday.
Conspiracy to finish off Siddaramaiah
Asked about Shivakumar’s allegation that everybody including Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje will finish off former CM B.S.Yediyurappa politically,the CM said does Shivakumar not know how they have finished off Siddaramaiah.
In the previous election,they finished him politically in the Chamundeshwari constituency and this time it will happen in the Varuna constituency.The people are aware of it and no need to give a reply.
No water in Congress ditch
On Shivakumar’s other statement that the lingayat dam has breached and the water flowed into the Congress Party, Bommai said there was no water in the Congress ditch and let Shivakumar takes note of the same.
In the 2013 elections,the lingayat community did not divide but became politically mature.The lingayat voters are also sensible.Shivakumar is helping in the further consolidation of lingayats.
On the charges that the nomination papers of the BJP candidates including that of Saudatti were not in order, the CM said it is being examined by returning officers and no party can do anything as everything is videographed.
The campaign by noted Kannada actor,Sudip will be finalised within one or two days.
Roadshow from tomorrow
Informing that he would go on the election roadshow tomorrow,the CM said it starts from Yelahanka and then proceed to Doddaballapur,Nelamangala,Tumkur, Arsikere,Belagavi division, and then Mysuru division.
The tour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be decided by the party.
