Bengaluru: “I’m not a coward, I don’t run away from fear. Ex-CM, Fake Swami, Blackmail, Looti Ravi I will give a befitting reply to all. I will unravel all of them,” said DCM DK Shivakumar.
He was responding to the media on Monday near Mallikarjuna Kharge’s residence and Kumarakrupa Guest House. Shivakumar replied to a question about the opposition parties’ accusation that ‘the party high command has given the task of collecting money to the leaders and ministers’.
When the Supreme Court rejected the CBI’s plea to vacate the High Court stay order, when pointed out that Shivakumar stating I will not run anywhere, he said, “Yes, I will not run anywhere. I respect the court proceedings and the law of the land.”
“I will answer whomever needs to be answered. They don’t know the process of IT department. He is talking like an agent. I don’t talk like them. Standing in a responsible position I cannot speak like them. It would be wrong to talk like that about the court. I will fix a time to give them an answer,” he said.
He said, “I will give for high voltage, give for low voltage, give for counterfeit money, also give for looted money, have some patience and wait.”
He also said, “BJP should protest, if they protest, people will come to know about all their loot and we will expose everything”.
When asked about Venugopal’s arrival and meeting of party leaders, he said, “Party president, general secretary and I discussed many issues of the party. We gave the responsibility to the ministers to go to the Lok Sabha constituencies and report. As this process is getting delayed, we have discussed that it should be done quickly,” he said.
When asked will MLA only get posts in corporation boards? Or whether workers will also get seats, he said, “Legislators and workers both should be given. A party is where everyone joins. Everyone should be given status. I and the Chief Minister will discuss this matter in a couple of days,” he said.
