‘CM has left the wheel, DKS running show with vendetta politics’

Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R Ashoka on Saturday accused Deputy CM DK Shivakumar of resorting to “vendetta politics” against Opposition parties. But Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is not bothered as he will be stepping down from his post, he said.

Referring to the alleged attack on senior BJP leader CT Ravi and high-handedness by the police, Ashoka indirectly said this has happened at the behest of Shivakumar who wants to become the CM.

“As he (Siddaramaiah) was not the one who used to be, the ministers went out of his control. Shivakumar, in order to impress the Congress high command, has been snubbing the voice of the Opposition. In the Maharishi Valmiki ST Development Corporation scam, B Nagendra resigned, and the next will be Siddaramaiah,” he said at a joint press conference in the Vidhana Soudha.
