Kumaraswamy is always thinking about finishing us: DCM D K Shivakumar

Bengaluru, July 27 Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar today lashed out at JDS Supremo and Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy saying his sole objective was to finish him politically.

“Kumaraswamy’s is always thinking about annihilating us. His politics is entirely cantered around it. We are not changing Ramanagar’s name, he changed the name illegally when he was in power. The people of Ramanagara district are Bangaloreans and will always remain so,” he said speaking to reporters at Vidhana Soudha.

“When Kumaraswamy and Deve Gowda came from Hassan, it was Bengaluru. It was Bengaluru even when he became the Chief Minister and the Prime minister. But Kumaraswamy changed the name of the district when he came to power,” he said.

“The administrative headquarters of the district will continue to be Ramanagara. We have taken this decision to change the name of the district keeping in mind the future of the people. The people are very happy with the decision,” he said.

Asked about Kumaraswamy’s statement that he would rename it back as Ramanagara district when he comes to power in 2028, he challenged, “Mark my word, he will not become the Chief minister in 2028 as Congress party will come back to power in the next Assembly election.”
