Dharawad: Former Chief Minister H. D. Kumarswamy formed the Government with the help of a communal party. This is Kumaraswamy’s secularism, mocked Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and asked if he had then joined hands with communal forces to uplift the State.

He was speaking to mediapersons in Hubballi. “Our aim is to defeat the BJP,” he asserted. He added that thus the aim is to bring harmony in the country.

Siddu further said, “Love your religion and don’t hate any other religion. We are Indians. Have not Muslims fought for our country,” he questioned.
