Promises to retire from politics if the allegation is substantiated
Hitting back at JD(S) leader and former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, who had alleged that income tax raids were carried out on the aides of former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa after the latter had secretly met Congress leader and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Mr. Siddaramaiah said he would retire from politics if the allegation was proved.
“If H.D. Kumaraswamy proves that I had secretly met B.S. Yediyurappa ahead of the I-T raids, I would retire from politics. I had met Mr. Yediyurappa on his 76th birthday. After that, I had met him in the Assembly. Except for these meetings, I have not met Mr. Yediyurappa. If Mr. Kumaraswamy proves that I had secretly met Mr. Yediyurappa ahead of the I-T raids, I would retire from politics,” Mr. Siddaramaiah told mediapersons at Aiwan-e-Shahi Guest House in Kalaburagi on October 13.
