Bengaluru: Congress Legislature Party chief Siddaramaiah on Thursday hit out at the rebel MLA Shivaram Hebbar, who had commented that he has acted upon the instructions of Congress legislature party leader Siddaramiah and not in touch with the BJP party.

Siddaramaiah tweeted, “Rebel MLAs are trying to shift the blame on me after a widespread public backlash against them for betraying and back-stabbing both the electorate and the party. Everything will be clear when the dust settles but by then they would have bitten the dust.”

Rebel MLAs are trying to shift the blame on me after wide spread public backlash against them for betraying & back-stabbing both the electorate & the party.

Everything will be clear when the dust settles but by then they would have bitten the dust.

He further blaming the media outlets tweeted, “Media houses are reporting that few rebel MLAs have claimed that I instigated them to resign and destabilize our govt. This is nothing but a false allegation with malafide intension. I will give them a befitting reply if they repeat the same in front of me.”

A day after the Congress-JD(S) coalition government in Karnataka headed by Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy collapsed MLA Shivaram Hebbar said, “We are not in touch with the BJP leaders. There is no relation to the recent political developments of BJP forming the government in the state and us. We have resigned only for the position of MLA. We are still in the Congress party and have kept the distance as per the instructions of Siddaramaiah.”
