Union minister HD Kumaraswamy on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party and Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar over an incident during the INDIA bloc’s protest march in Delhi against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
He further added that soon Shivakumar “will be eventually push him out from the Chief Minister’s post”.
Mocking Shivakumar, Kumaraswamy said he was raising the issue with pain and would not comment further on Monday’s incident, in which Shivakumar was allegedly pulled back by security personnel during the march.
Addressing the media, the Union minister said, “It is just the beginning; Congress will eventually push him out from the CM post.” He further added, “The day is not far when even his chair will be pulled away.”
Kumaraswamy’s reaction came in response to the video shared by the BJP showing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi pulling Shivakumar by the collar as the two marched towards the Supreme Court during Monday’s march by the INDIA bloc to protest against CEC Gyanesh Kumar, demanding his resignation.
Moments later, Shivakumar appeared to be pulled back as the Congress MP moved forward with the crowd, while Shivakumar was lost in the sea of the crowd.
