Infighting in the BJP will lead to downfall of the Government: Siddaramaiah

Hassan: Taking a dig at Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa for offering prayers at the Nanjundeshwara temple in Nanjangud on Thurday, Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Siddaramaiah and the former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy said god won't forgive Mr. Yeddyurappa for the sins he has committed.

Mr. Siddaramaiah and Mr. Kumaraswamy were addressing presspersons after a mass marriage in Arsikere. K.M. Shivalinge Gowda, MLA, had organised the mass marriage ceremony in which his daughter S. Manasa married J. Varun and 100 other couples also tied the knot.

Mr. Siddaramaiah said, “Mr. Yeddyurappa has committed sins for which he would not be forgiven by god. However, it was up to the people of the State to become aware of Mr. Yeddyurappa's wrongdoings and teach him a lesson in the elections”. He added that infighting in the BJP would either lead to the downfall of Mr. Yeddyurappa or his Government itself.

H.D. Kumaraswamy opined that Lord Nanjundeshwara had forgiven Mr. Yeddyurappa's misdeeds in the past, but this time he won't. The Chief Minister never went to god when the people of the State were in misery, he said.

Mr. Kumaraswamy took the opportunity to declare that he would support all people who were fighting against corruption in the State. According to him, it was during Mr. Yeddyurappa's tenure as a Chief Minister that maximum number of byelections was held. He added that MLAs who joined the BJP lured by Mr. Yeddyurappa were selfish.

The former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, MLA H.D. Revanna and seers of various maths attended the mass marriage ceremony.
