“Why should I attempt to dethrone him? It is he who is falling into the ditch time and again”, he said at a press meet. Flaying Yeddyyurappa for targeting his family, Kumaraswamy commented that the chief minister must have drawn inspiration to grab land from RSS prayer 'Namaste Sada Vatsale Matrubhumi' (Pray thy kind-hearted motherland).
He welcomed the decision to probe all the land dealings entered into by the governments since 1994.
Former prime minster H D Deve Gowda took serious objections to Yeddyurappa’s comments against him at several functions throughout the day. “It looks the chief minister has lost his sense after his involvement in all scams became public,”he commented.
