Karnataka chief minister Kumaraswamy openly threatened people during his village stay in Raichuru. But this is certainly not the first time that the chief minister has made such statements
Bengaluru: On Wednesday (June 26) Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy was in Raichuru as part of the grama vastavya or village stay. There, he stumped those people who had come to seek his help, with his open intimidation and threat: “You vote for Modi and come to me with your problems. Should I get you lathicharged?”
Of course, his statements stumped everyone, but a closer look at his mannerisms over the years easily tells us that he is not just temperamental and idiosyncratic, but incorrigible as well. Here, we present an inventory on how he has let his tongue loose.
(Occasion: He hit out at Udupi voters for choosing the BJP)
(Occasion: When a lady farmer approached him for help over closure of sugar factories, the chief minister took a jibe at her character. His reference was that she had kept quiet all the time before he came to power.)
(Occasion: JD(S) workers had been hacked to death in Mandya, the chief minister openly ordered the police to shoot them (killers) dead disdainfully. He was caught ordering so on his mobile phone.)
(Occasion: As Kumaraswamy approached a crowd of youngsters, they began chanting the name of Modi. Irritated, he turned irate and gave them this piece of advice.)
(Occasion: He was referring to the deplorable condition of the wife of Kallappa Handibag, the DySP of Chikkamagaluru, Karnataka, who had committed suicide.)
