Bengaluru, Jul 14: “Give me some time. It is only two months since I became the chief minister. I have not become chief minister to cheat anybody,” said chief minister Kumaraswamy.
Speaking in the sidelines of a programme here, he said that he will be pro- poor so long as he is the chief minister. “I am not the chief minister of only Ramanagara but of the entire state. All the districts are my districts. Stop criticizing. Give me some time,” he requested.
“I am not joking in waiving farm loans. I have accepted that as a challenge. It is not fair to talk like this to someone who works for the farmers. I have no confusion in the matter of loan waiver scheme,” he said.
Responding to the increase in petrol prices, he said, “You are saying to the fisherwomen in Mangaluru, that Kumaraswamy is not your chief minister just because I increased petrol and diesel prices by a rupee. Why are you so angry with me? Modi has increased fuel prices eleven times. You are not saying a word against it. For how long will you be gathering people against me?”
“Do not create doubts among people by creating ditches in between them. Why are you suspicious about me? If so, let your organizers come to me for discussion. I am prepared for it. You are speaking against me even though I am not at fault. If at all I commit mistakes, come for discussions with me. Do not conduct propaganda unnecessarily,” he said.
