Bengaluru: The Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar on July 4 said, Congress Government is fulfilling its promises made to the people. The people of the state have sent the BJP leaders home to rest and they are protesting unnecessarily as they have no work to do, he added.
Speaking to mediapersons in Vidhana Soudha, Shivakumar said, BJP leaders should first protest against the Central BJP Government. Even though there is stock of rice, the Central Government and the Food Authority of India have refused to supply rice to the state Government. Let the Yediyurappa and Bommai’s team fight against this stand of the Centre, he said.
Whatever they did, our guarantee schemes are getting more publicity, thanks to them.The people have allowed us to govern, we will govern in favour of the people and keep their trust, said DKS.
When asked about Kumaraswamy’s allegation that one has to pay Rs. 30 lakh to get a job in the Chief Minister’s office, he said, “Kumaraswamy is talking out of frustration that he got a low number in the election. So we are not bothered about his words. His allegation is far from the truth. None are being given a job in any office of the Government. If he has a record, let him complain to the Lokayukta officials, let them investigate. It is allowed in a democratic system,” he said.
