Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah Accuses Political Rivals of Conspiracy
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has accused Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy, former Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa, and BJP Karnataka President BY Vijayendra of trying to end his political career. Speaking at the unveiling of the Sangolli Rayana idol, Siddaramaiah compared their actions to historical betrayals, asserting that he will not be silenced.
He said, “Union minister HD Kumaraswamy, former CM BS Yediyurappa, and BJP state President BY Vijayendra are trying to finish me off politically, but that’s foolishness. They are trying to do to me what was done to Sangolli Rayanna, but they will not succeed.”
Sangolli Rayanna was a 19th-century military leader who fought against the British. Siddaramaiah highlighted that there were traitors during Rayanna’s time and that similar forces are at work today. He stated, “The British came to India for trade, but they ruled our country for 200 years. They provoked Indians and looted our country. If our own people had not colluded with the British, they would not have been able to rule our country.”
He added, “Sangolli Rayanna escaped from the British and built his army. He fought against the British, but our own people betrayed him and handed him over to the British. There have always been traitors in our country, and there is still some today.”
Siddaramaiah emphasized his long, mistake-free political career, saying, “I have been in politics for 40 years, and I have never made a mistake. Why would I make a mistake now?”
