Mysuru: Chairman of JD(S) core committee and Chamundeshwari constituency MLA G T Devegowda on Thursday expressed his solidarity with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah saying the latter need not resign, while lambasting leaders of his own party and alliance partner BJP, including Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy.
In his speech during Mysuru Dasara inauguration he said that if persons against whom FIR is registered have to resign, many leaders from all the three parties, including Opposition Leader R Ashoka, will have to resign.
“All are sitting in glass houses... Since I know Siddaramaiah well, I am talking about him. At a time when mines and real estate are ruling politics, Siddaramaiah has survived in politics. He has never done any favour,” Devegowda said.
He added, “Allegations against Siddaramaiah are unexpected and accidental. If the Governor and Chief Justice order an investigation, it does not mean that he should resign."
He continued, asking, "Have they told Siddaramaiah to resign or have they asked to imprison him? When a person becomes a Central minister, he or she should realise their dignity and responsibility. Instead of recognising the good work done by Siddaramaiah, they ask him to resign. Will Kumarswamy (facing an FIR) resign? Should Siddaramaiah, who has become CM with a support of 135 MLAs, resign?"
"Opposition leaders are not remembering the good work of earlier CMs Kengal Hanumanthaiah, Veerendra Patil, Ramakrishna Hegde, H D Deve Gowda or S M Krishna. Karnataka is a model state. It is a bad trend to topple an elected government which is doing good work,” he further said.
Devegowda added, “Siddaramaiah is Goddess Chamundeshwari’s ‘Varaputra’ and hence has her blessings during tough times. He won the election in Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency, when the BJP-JD(S) government was in power in 2006. With the blessings of the Goddess, he has held varied positions right from becoming an MLA for the first time in 1983. He presented 15 budgets and has become CM for a second time. He took H C Mahadevappa, a Dalit leader to the state level. Siddaramaiah has the support of Deputy CM D K Shivakumar as ‘Jodeththu’. Blessings of the beneficiaries of guarantee schemes are with him (Siddaramaiah).”
Siddaramaiah said, “Devegowda was a MUDA member. He knows the truth. Hence, he is saying this. His words have filled strength in me. ‘Satyameva Jayate’, Truth will always triumph.”

Dear respected Seer
This is all election gimmick.
BJP dont have any Muddah to move with. So they are trying to fool the hindu brothers and sisters by playing with their sentiments. Even the locals both Hindu and muslims of Ayodya doesnt want to communicalise this issue. But BJP and its supporters need to - Why because next year is 2019.
Let the SC decide whom the disputed land belongs to- Why you can't wait llike the minorities???
in the other hand you got full mandate in State as well as in Centre. Why you didn't take action in these 4 and half years like your govt has done for minorities issues like tripple talak, removal of subsidy to haj pilgrimage, etc etc?? and changing the islamic names of cities etc??
Dear Sir - Why now a days you are poking your nose in all political and religious issues!!!!
Being a Hindu, I wont recommend to build such building which is not going help anybody in physical world. Instead of that, build as many as houses for homeless poor people. give jobs to educated as well as uneducated people (not pakoda making)
Dont be religious blind man. or dont act like blind. We all know you took initiative for the Ram Temple. But this is not the time to buit such a useless structure. Modi already wasted crores and again going to waste crores for statues
Dear seer, we respect you. But this trick wont work among us. Do atleast somewthing for poor people. Help people. Temple wont cure diseases and wont fill empty stomach
we will not support you, get los. do you think you are the manager of god.
do you think your god will be happy afetr building temple in this destruction place!!!
what harmony you talking about, do you think hindu can live peacefully after destroying muslim in india. this is your dream. never test the patient of LIONS, number of D@gs does not effect the lion.
28 yesr passed still you cant build, just forget it and move on..
