Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah on July 4 ridiculed former JD(S) State unit president A.H. Vishwanath for his utterances against the Congress-JD(S) coalition government in the State.
When reporters drew Mr. Siddaramaiah’s attention to Mr. Vishwanath’s remarks in New Delhi, the former Chief Minister questioned Mr. Vishwanath’s competence to comment against others when he himself was unable to discharge the duties as the party’s State chief and had resigned.
“He was unable to discharge the duties of the president of (JD-S State unit) party, how can he talk about others?”, Mr. Siddaramaiah said.
