I stand by my charges, says Kumaraswamy

Tumkur: The former Chief Minister and Janata Dal (S) State president H.D. Kumaraswamy has said that he stands by his charges against Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa and is ready to swear in front of the deity at Dharmasthala in this connection on Monday.

Speaking at a public function at Kunigal on Sunday, Mr. Kumaraswamy said the Yeddyurappa government had failed to fulfil promises made to the people in the last three years.

He said Mr. Yeddyurappa got advertisement placed in leading dailies stating that he would swear in front of the deity at Dharmasthala that he had not done anything wrong. The Chief Minister had challenged Mr. Kumaraswamy for a ‘truth test'. The JD(S) leader alleged that Mr. Yeddyurappa was guilty and that was why he decided to refrain from taking the ‘truth test'.

He said he would repeat his charges against the Chief Minister in front of the deity at Dharmasthala on Monday.

Mr. Kumaraswamy said he would disclose all information about the conversation Mr. Yeddyurappa allegedly had with Lehar Singh, MLC, at a public programme at Ujjire on Monday.
