H.D. Kumaraswamy accuses Congress leader of using report ‘to settle political scores’
Former chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy accused the erstwhile Siddaramaiah government in Karnataka of ‘leaking’ the caste census report during its tenure instead of accepting it to settle political scores. If the Congress leader had respect for different castes, the census report would have been accepted during his tenure, Mr. Kumaraswamy told reporters in Mysuru on September 1. Mr. Siddaramaiah had accused Mr. Kumaraswamy of blocking submission of the caste census report during the tenure of the Congress-JD(S) coalition government. He has claimed that the caste census, which he had ordered as chief minister of Karnataka, was not ready by the time his tenure ended. It was ready when Mr. Kumaraswamy succeeded him as chief minister, but the JD(S) leader allegedly warned the then Backward Classes Minister against accepting the report.More Related News
