Mysuru: Accusing Chief Minister Siddharamaiah of himself being a casteist, former Minister and senior BJP leader V. Sreenivasa Prasad said that he has no moral right to call the BJP a communal party. Addressing a press meet at a private hotel here yesterday, Prasad explained how Siddharamaiah has been an opportunist, exposing and ditching all those who helped him to become the CM.
Prasad said that the victory of Congress candidate Kalale Keshavamurthy can be attributed to the JD(S). “The JD(S) had come second in the 2013 polls with 42,000 odd votes. In the by-polls, the Congress secured 86,000 votes while I garnered 68,000 votes out of 86,000 votes of the Congress, 42,000 belonged to the JD(S) and for that, Siddharamaiah and company spent crores of rupees,” he said.
