Kodagu, Jun 4: “Nobody can remain in the party of father and children that saw disastrous outcome in Lok Sabha elections,” said BJP leader A Manju on Tuesday, June 4.
Manju was speaking to reporters about the resignation of H Vishwanath to the position of JD(S) state president. He said that it is better if state chief minister H D Kumaraswamy also resigns taking moral responsibility for JD(S) debacle.
“Whether JD(S) is in power or not, it is restricted only to one family. The real eligible leaders do not get position in the party of father and children. H Vishwanath neither had power nor responsibility of a president. Therefore, he resigned after ill feelings from namesake position,” alleged Manju.
“The atmosphere in JD(S) party is suffocating. It is not possible for anybody to remain with father and children in it,” he added.
Manju was minister in earlier Siddaramaiah led government. He quit Congress and joined BJP recently after being unhappy with JD(S) and Congress electoral pact. He had contested against Prajwal Revanna from Congress-JDS coalition in the recent Lok Sabha election from Hassan constituency and lost.
