Hassan MLA H.S. Prakash and Hassan district Janata Dal (S) unit president H.K. Javare Gowda have criticised Congress leader B. Shivaram for his comments on JD(S) national president H.D. Deve Gowda.
“Mr. Shivaram has made criticising Mr. Deve Gowda and his sons as his profession,” the leaders said at a press conference here on Friday.
Mr. Shivaram on Thursday had alleged that Mr. Deve Gowda and his family members were engaged in vindictive politics in Hassan.
Mr. Javare Gowda said people of Hassan were well aware of the development works implemented by Mr. Deve Gowda in the district. “Mr. Shivaram and other Congress leaders are engaged in criticising JD(S) leaders instead of ensuring that development works get implemented in Hassan,” he said.
Drought relief
Criticising Mr. Shivaram for his comments on poor drought relief works in the district, Mr. Prakash sought to know how many goshalas were set up in Hassan when there was a severe drought during the Congress rule.
Referring to reports in a section of the media that he had plans to contest the next Assembly election from Hassan constituency on the Congress ticket, Mr. Prakash said he had never thought of quitting the JD(S). “I will remain in the JD(S) forever. I am not in touch with any Congress leader.,” he said.
