Kumaraswamy is a political goonda: Eshwarappa

BJP leader K S Eshwarappa on Saturday termed Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy a political goonda.

“Kumaraswamy is like a villain in movies. He is a political goonda,” he said after inaugurating a BJP workers’ convention in the town.

Eshwarappa said, “Kumaraswamy had said that he would call for a revolt if he was dethroned. He is now saying he will die. Let him not die. Let him waive farm loan. He will live for another 10 years if he does so.”

Eshwarappa also criticised former chief minister Siddaramaiah and JD(S) national president H D Deve Gowda.

“If the Nobel prize for telling lies should be given to anybody, it should be given to Siddaramaiah. He had said that Kumaraswamy would never become chief minister. He bit the dust in the Assembly elections and led the proceedings to make Kumaraswamy as the chief minister,” he
criticised.

“The BJP is not a communal party, but a nationalist party. It’s the JD(S) which lacks secular credentials. Siddaramaiah and Deve Gowda indulge in caste politics. There is a need to keep these two away from the politics,” Eshwarappa said.
