In a recent development, JD MLA G.T. Deve Gowda expressed his satisfaction with the Lokayukta's decision to clear CM Siddaramaiah of any wrongdoing in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority case. This news has caused disappointment among Gowda's party and the BJP, as he also stated that the Congress party has a strong majority and will successfully complete its full term in Karnataka.
During a press conference in Mysuru, Gowda shared his thoughts by saying, "The RTI activists, Snehamayi Krishna, Gangaraju and others were the ones who filed the FIR against CM Siddaramaiah. They believed that this would lead to his resignation. However, with the Lokayukta's investigation, it has become evident that their accusations were unfounded." This statement indicates that the Lokayukta's findings have proven the RTI activists' allegations to be baseless.
When asked about the ongoing "internal fight" within the Congress party, Gowda had an interesting perspective. He stated, "Dy CM and State Congress President D. K. Shivakumar holds a strong desire to become the Chief Minister one day. It is uncertain when this will happen, but Shivakumar is making every effort to achieve his goal." He also mentioned that Shivakumar requires the support of CM Siddaramaiah to attain this position. On the other hand, CM Siddaramaiah had also received support from Shivakumar during his second term as the Chief Minister. According to Gowda, becoming the CM requires the support of at least 138 MLAs, and it is impossible for someone with the support of only 10 MLAs to achieve this position.
Gowda also expressed his confidence that the Congress government in Karnataka will successfully complete its full five-year term. He stated, "The people are tired of hearing news about the downfall of the Congress government and the resignation of CM Siddaramaiah. Even those who are making these claims are tired of it." This statement illustrates Gowda's belief that the Congress government in Karnataka is stable and will remain in power for the entire term.
It is worth noting that JD MLA Deve Gowda has maintained a distance from his party and has openly praised CM Siddaramaiah in public events. He has even gone to the extent of stating that he will not attend JD party meetings or partake in any organizational activities. This change in Gowda's behavior can be attributed to his dissatisfaction with the JD leadership for not acknowledging his seniority.
On this matter, Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has assured that the issue with senior leader G.T. Deve Gowda will be resolved soon. This statement indicates that efforts are being made to reconcile with Gowda and address his grievances. Overall, it is evident that Gowda is pleased with the Lokayukta's decision and is confident about the stability of the Congress government in Karnataka.
