There is pro-Congress wave in State, says Shivakumar
The former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday hit out at Janata Dal (Secular) national president and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda for his recent meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and once again called the regional party the ‘B team’ of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Speaking to reporters after inducting the former MLC C.R. Manohar from the JD(S), the former MLA Nagaraju from the BJP and other leaders and their supporters into the Congress, Mr. Siddaramaiah accused the regional party of indulging in “family politics”.
