Siddaramaiah may say Rahul is his political guru: Kumaraswamy

JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy said on Sunday that it would not be a surprise if Chief Minister Siddaramaiah says Congress president Rahul Gandhi is his political guru.

Kumaraswamy was in the city to attend a private function. Speaking to reporters, he said, Siddaramaiah had said that former chief minister Ramakrishna Hegde is his political guru. "Siddaramaiah has forgotten who brought him to politics and who contributed for his growth. We need not be surprised if he (Siddaramaiah) says Rahul Gandhi is his political guru," Kumaraswamy said.

Kumaraswamy said JD(S) would release the second list of candidates after Ugadi festival.
