BJP demands apology from HDK for warning against hindering development activities

Bengaluru, Sept 21: Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party in Karnataka today launched a state-wide agitation demanding an apology by from Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy for it called a 'seditious' remark after allegedly gave call to public to 'revolt' against BJP for hindering developmental activities by indulging in luring ruling coalition government Legislators in its attempt to capture power in the State.

BJP State General Secretary and Lok Sabha member Shobha Kharandlje, addressing the party workers who picketed in the city on Friday, alleged that "by giving a provoking call to the public Mr Kumaraswamy has acted against the Constitution on which he has taken pledge before assuming the highest office in the State. He should tender an apology not only to public but also particularly to Opposition Leader in the Legislative Assembly B S Yeddyurappa."

She said that such outburst from a person holding important position in the Government was most uncalled for and highly condemnable. "If Mr Kumaraswamy has any charges that he can prove against BJP leaders let him order an inquiry as he is the Chief Minister and has all the powers. Instead of that he should not indulge to tarnish the image of the party and its leaders by making baseless charges," she added.
