Bengaluru: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Thursday, replying to coordination committee chief Siddaramaiah’s tweet that HD Revanna is can also become CM said that his comment on Kharge Kharge was deep from his heart and requested people to stop giving any political colour to it or analyzing by misunderstanding it is not healthy.

“I don’t have a shabby interest to get political advantage through this statement. We should not forget that Kharge’s personality is something that is beyond party or caste lines,” Kumaraswamy tweeted.

ಈ ಹೇಳಿಕೆಯ ಮೂಲಕ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಲಾಭ ಪಡೆಯುವ ಕೀಳು ಅಭಿರುಚಿ ನನ್ನದಲ್ಲ. ಖರ್ಗೆಯವರದು ಪಕ್ಷ , ಜಾತಿ ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ಮೀರಿದ ಮಹೋನ್ನತ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿತ್ವ ಎನ್ನುವುದನ್ನು ನಾವು ಮರೆಯಬಾರದು.

Addressing a gathering in Chincholi, Kumaraswamy on Tuesday had said, Kharge should have become the Chief Minister long ago.

Kharge could have also become Chief Minister of the present Congress-JDS coalition government, but he said, he will abide by party high command’s decision, Kumaraswamy had noted.

Following Kumaraswamy’s comment, Kharge himself had termed Chief Minister’s statement as election time statement and out of affection.

However, this debate about Chief Minister has come amid speculation about the longevity of the coalition government in the state after Lok Sabha poll results on May 23.
