Reacting to BJP leader K S Eshwarappa’s controversial statement on Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, D K Shivakumar suspected that BJP leaders might have conspired to murder the chief minister.
Speaking to media persons, here on Wednesday, he said Eshwarappa has given statement indicating that Kumaraswmay may die after Lok Sabha polls. BJP must clarify the intention behind such a statement. Eshwarappa is known for making such meaningless statements. Why can’t state BJP President B S Yeddyurappa take disciplinary action against him? Is this culture of RSS and BJP? he questioned.
Reacting to Eshwarappa’s statement that the party did not issue ticket to Muslims as they did not back BJP, he said the BJP leader is dividing people on the basis of caste, religion during the election period.
