Union Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday accused Congress of driving Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy to desperation, saying it did the same to Charan Singh, Chandra Shekhar, H D Deve Gowda and I K Gujral when they were the prime ministers of governments backed by the party.
Taking a pot-shot at opposition’s effort to stich a “non-ideological opportunistic” alliance just to “Keep Modi Out”, Jaitley said in a hard-hitting Facebook post that India cannot afford to have ‘bechara’ (helpless) Prime Minister. He said that in the past few days, “we witnessed” Kumaraswamy baring his emotions with tears, wetting his eyes and declining to accept bouquets and garlands.
Indicating a strain in ties with the Congress, Kumaraswamy recently said he was “not happy” as Karnataka Chief Minister and was swallowing pain like Lord Shiva who drank poison. He is Chief Minister of the coalition government, wherein Congress is a bigger party.
