Sadananda Gowda flays Siddaramaiah for disrupting Assembly session

Launching a tirade against former chief minister Siddaramaiah, Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers D V Sadananda Gowda said that the former has been disrupting the Assembly session.

Speaking to reporters at the Mangalore International Airport, he said, "Siddaramaiah is a hypocrite. Let him allow discussions in the Assembly. If the Congress wants a discussion on former minister Jarkiholi's scandal let them do so in the Assembly. The MLAs entered the Well of the House and disrupted the Assembly session."

"The investigation into the matter is in progress and it is not right to misguide the process. Let the investigation take its own course. It is not fair on part of Siddaramaiah, who is a former chief minister, to speak irrationally in the Assembly. Can we run the government by listening to someone who is into blackmailing?" he said.

"Let the investigation into the matter continue. We will not interfere in it. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is facing charges of corruption. Did we ask for his resignation? Let the inquiry go on," he added.
