Mangaluru, Apr 23: Reiterating that it was JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy who instigated the party rebels to indulge in cross voting in recent biennial polls to Rajya Sabha, Chamrajpete MLA Zameer Ahmed Khan has invited the former chief minister for a vow in front of the idol of Manjunatheshwara in Dharmasthala.
The cross voting by the rebel JD(S) candidates in favor of the Congress candidate K C Ramamurthy had resulted in the defeat of defeat of official JD(S) candidate B M Farooq in 2016.
Zameer, who is seen as the leader of rebel JD(S) MLAs, responding to the queries of media persons in Mangaluru, challenged his friend turned enemy Kumaraswamy to make 'aane pramana' (truth test) at Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala.
"I believe in god. Let Kumaraswamy come to Dharamsthala. I will also bring Quran and I will swear by it that I have cast my vote to Congress in the Rajya Sabha election at the behest of Kumaraswamy. Let him challenge me, not Cheluvaraya Swamy (another JDS MLA). If Kumaraswamy had faith in god and respect his words, he would have given power to B S Yeddyurappa in 2007," Zameer said.
