Bengaluru: Continuing his attack against the Congress, JD(S) patriarch H D Deve Gowda on Friday said his son H D Kumaraswamy had shed tears wanting to resign as Chief Minister of the coalition government, citing “trouble” from the alliance partner in running the administration.

Stating that he was “swallowing pain” all these days, the former Prime Minister said he had advised Kumaraswamy against resignation in the larger interest of the unity of secular parties.

Kumaraswamy had cried and said he would resign,” Gowda said.

Speaking to reporters here, he said, “because of trouble from you (media) and they (Congress) gave, one day he came home and said, he will resign.

I told him, in the country the situation is Modi (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) versus other secular parties, if we resign now, at the top level there (in Delhi) there may be danger, so withstand.”

Gowda in the last couple of days has repeatedly hit out at Congress leadership as he blamed Congress legislature Party leader Siddaramaiah, holding him responsible for the collapse of the coalition government, exactly one month ago.

Siddaramaiah earlier hit back at Gowda for accusing him of being responsible for the collapse of the coalition government, terming the allegation “baseless”, “unscrupulous” and “politically motivated.”

The coalition government collapsed on July 22 after the confidence motion moved Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy was defeated in the assembly, bringing to an end his 14-month long turbulent tenure marked by dissidence within the Congress.

Following the collapse, BJP under the leadership of B S Yediyurappa formed the government on July 26 and proved his majority in the assembly two days later.
