Janata Dal (Secular) leader H D Kumaraswamy today refuted speculations that there was a gap between him and BRS president & Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.
Addressing a gathering along with Narayapet MLA Rajender Reddy at Rayachur in Karnataka as part of his Panchatantra Yatra, Kumaraswamy said that he considered KCR a father figure after his father and former Prime Minister Deve Gowda, and said that there was no truth in the speculations that the relations between the JD(S) and the BRS were strained.
"KCR has done an amazing job by constructing the biggest lift irrigation project, Kaleshwaram, which is providing irrigation water to 24 districts in Telangana. He has also created history by supplying drinking water to all households under the Mission Bhagiratha scheme. I am confident that the JD(S) will come to power in the upcoming Karnataka Assembly elections, and we will implement all the BRS government's successful schemes and development programmes in Karnataka, too," Kumaraswamy said.
He alleged that both the BJP and the Congress had pushed Karnataka into darkness, and that development had come to a standstill in the State.
