'Never wanted to make Kumaraswamy CM,' HD Deve Gowda says Karnataka will witness mid-term polls soon

The JD(S) leader also said that he didn't want his son HD Kumaraswamy to become the chief minister and therefore, asked Rahul to make Mallikarjun Kharge the head of the state. However, he was told by Azad that Congress' 'top bosses' wanted Kumaraswamy to lead.
"I was the glue for the coalition in Karnataka. Sonia and Rahul Gandhi sent (Ghulam Nabi) Azad and Ashok Gehlot to Bangalore. While having a discussion, I told them the pain of the coalition I had experienced before. I told them I don't need it (coalition])," Deve Gowda was quoted as saying.
