Devegowda’s political era is over: Siddaramaiah’s jibe at ex-PM

Hindustan Times  

Former Prime Minister HD Devegowda’s political era has ended, chief minister Siddaramaiah said on Thursday during the “Janakalyana Samavesha” convention in Hassan on Thursday. He also accused Devegowda of engaging in “vendetta politics” and criticised the Janata Dal supremo’s alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party and questioned the morality of continuing to call his party “secular”. Without naming the sexual harassment cases being faced by Devegowda’s grandson Prajwal Revanna, he cited a statement by HD Krishnappa from 2010: “Devegowda would go through a disastrous time in his ripe age.” Exuding confidence about Congress’ prospects in the next state elections, Siddaramaiah declared: “I am confident that we will win all seven assembly seats in Hassan in 2028. We won only one seat in 2023, but in the next election, Congress will triumph in every seat.” Siddaramaiah also dismissed BJP and JD’s criticisms of the Congress government’s schemes.
