Bengaluru, Aug 4: In a surprise development, mother of Shivakumar, speaking to a private news channel, surprised people by launching verbal tirade against Siddaramaiah.
"Siddaramaiah utilized the services of my children, D K Shivakumar and D K Suresh, at his will. But when Income tax raid happened he did not do anything. I am confident that my children will come out unscathed," she stated.

Adding further, she questioned the claim of Siddaramaiah about helping people with 'Anna Bhagya' scheme. "Siddarmaiaah keeps claiming that he has gifted various Bhagyas to people. Did he bring them from his paternal home? He has given out of what we, the farmers, contributed by working hard. Everything will come into the open once election is held. My children nursed the aspirations of getting elected and working for people by becoming ministers, among others. But Siddaramaiah did not come to their rescue at the times of need," she commented.
