Disclosing this at a joint news conference here, Mr Hunasimarad, Mr Babgouda Patil and former legislator Shivanand Ambadgatti charged that former CM Kumaraswamy has not only cheated the BJP but also loyal party workers. By doing this, the former chief minister became a ‘betrayer.’  “Former minister Basavaraj Horatti has a secret understanding with candidates of other political parties. The only person who has been benefited from the party is Mr Horatti,” they alleged.
