Bangalore, Jun 18 (PTI) JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy today said he has accepted B S Yeddyurappa's challenge to testify before the Dharmasthala presiding deity, Lord Manjunatheshwara, on the Chief Minister's "attempts to buy peace" with him.
"I have accepted the Chief Minister's challenge. I am ready to be present at Dharmasthala tomorrow between 11.30 am to 12 noon to swear before God that Yeddyurappa tried to influence me through his aide," Kumaraswamy told reporters.
Irked by contents of an advertisement inserted in major dailies, allegedly by Yeddyurappa, today attacking him and his family on various issues, Kumaraswamy, refuting the charges, said "the advertisement speaks for itself of the misuse of public money by Yeddyurappa."
"Yeddyurappa is a coward Chief Minister. It is he who is engaged in hit and run politics and not me.
