Bengaluru: Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly B S Yeddyurappa, while reacting to Governor’s speech to the joint session of the legislator, said that the state had two Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah and H D Kumaraswamy. 

Yeddyurappa amid his comments here on July 3 stated, “Individuals are befuddled as to who the chief minister is, Siddaramaiah or Kumaraswamy. One remote control is in Delhi (Congress high summon), while the other remote control is in Padmanabhanagar that is at JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda’s home. Siddaramaiah says there is no requirement for another budget. Individuals are sick of this discussion and they are cursing this government.”

“The Governor’s speech to the joint session of the assembly is directionless and needed vision,” he said including that after the spending session finishes up on July 12, each of the 104 BJP MLAs would take the JD(S) statement to the public and bring up promises that Kumaraswamy failed to fulfill. 

Going up against JD(S) for its promises, Yeddyurappa additionally stated, “If not for the tall promises you made, the JD(S) would have just 25 seats. Give me a chance to perceive how you defer farmer loans worth Rs 53,000 crore, give monthly pension of Rs 6,000 to senior citizens, give Rs 6,000 for a six months to pregnant ladies among different initiatives. Kumaraswamy must turn out with a White Paper on the state’s finances before tabling the budget.” 

He additionally stated, “The government’s loan are at Rs 2.38 lakh crore and I have credible data that irrigation, public works and other key departments have Rs 10,000-crore pending bills. Siddaramaiah established foundation stones for projects worth Rs 6,000 crore. At that point there is the Sixth Pay Commission proposal that will cost Rs 10,800 crore.”
