Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy and Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly B.S. Yeddyurappa traded words on Monday outside the State legislature over the government’s performance so far.
While Mr. Yeddyurappa termed the Chief Minister arrogant and accused him of treating the Opposition as “bonded labour”, Mr. Kumaraswamy said he did not need a “certificate” from the BJP leader. Later, addressing a rally of farmers protesting against the alleged anti-farmer policies of the government, Mr. Yeddyurappa reiterated his claim that the government would not last long. The CM retorted with, “I welcome it.”
