Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi (HB) 

Udupi, Aug 18: “I have not misused my position during my administration. Any type of probe can be ordered against me including CBI probe. I am ready for it. Even Trump and Putin can be called for the probe against me,” said former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy. He also alleged that there are some shady dealings in the transfer of government officials. 

Kumaraswamy was speaking to media when he visited Udupi on Sunday, August 18. 

“No one can stop me in my fight against injustice. We want to know about the amount of money involved in the transfer of tahsildar to Yalahanka. There are big deals in the transfer of officials and huge amounts are involved here. Son of chief minister Yediyurappa is involved in this. Many such things will be revealed soon,” he alleged. 

“No one can destroy my integrity and tarnish my image,” he said reacting to the questions on phone-tapping issue in the state. 

“Coalition government worked honestly for the people. Present government does not have any agenda. It is a weaponless government. UPA government had sanctioned Rs 1,000 crore when Karnataka was in trouble due to floods in 2010. But this government has not sanctioned any amount so far for the state. Though the home and finance ministers visited the state, no amount has been promised or sent to the state yet.” Kumaraswamy said.

One section of media had tried to weaken the coalition government right from the beginning. False allegations were made against me and they created false image about my work in the minds of people, he said. 

Bojegowda, MLC, Sara Mahesh, former tourism minister, Kaup Yogish Shetty, district JD(S) president, Pradeep, and others were present.
