It is ridiculous that those who came to power by lying that they are free and sure are accusing the opposition!

Former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy lashed out at the state Congress government saying that it is ridiculous that those who came to power by lying that it is free and sure are saying that the opposition is inciting people to misuse electricity.

You are the one who discussed about the guarantees and prepared the platform, you who said free electricity up to 200 units before the election, now you have made a condition. He lashed out at Siddaramaiah saying that people are being misled by the opposition for no reason.

Last time, who was the energy minister, who was the CM, he was the only one, why didn't he think about this. Siddaramaiah said that 200 units are free for everyone, isn't it you? A house has three floors. The meter is in one's name. What should tenants do then?

We are in the opposition to fight, this is what we do. Questioning whether there is no free electricity for tenants and those who have built new houses, he said that the Deputy Chief Minister is ready for friendship and war. People have put us in the position of opposition, not for friendship, but for war. We will fight for the people. HDK lashed out that the guarantees given before the election were duplicated after the party came to power.

These schemes are not easily available to the oppressed classes. We agree to support the poor. However, such a program is provided by people's tax money. What Purushartha did the BJP sit for yesterday? Didn't BJP apply for electricity rate hike when it was in power, then you didn't know? He said that people should take a careful decision about the behavior of both the national parties.

If the government takes the decision to complete the Mekadatu, Mahadayi, Krishna Upland Project in five years, we will cooperate. Otherwise, we will fight to make people aware," he warned.

The present Chief Minister knows everything. 13 budgets have already been presented. He will also present the 14th budget. Who knows more about the state's finances and economy than him? They should know what to do next. Apart from that, it is ridiculous to say that the opposition is working to uplift the people.
