Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday said, he was both surprised and saddened by JD(S) patriarch H.D. Deve Gowda’s statement that a CM representing six crore people should not question a Prime Minister who represents a hundred crore people. He was referring to a statement by Deve Gowda, a former PM, at a NDA rally in Mysuru on Sunday, when he shared stage with PM Narendra Modi.
“Respected H.D. Deve Gowda, I am both surprised and saddened by your statement that a Chief Minister representing six crore people should not question a Prime Minister who represents a hundred crore people,” Siddaramaiah said in a statement.
