Gadag: On Thursday September 2, Minister for Social Welfare and Backward Classes welfare, Kota Srinivas Poojary said that unlike JD (S) there is no suitcase culture in BJP.
He was reacting to the statement made by Former Chief Minister H. D. Kumaraswamy that BJP State In-Charge Arun Singh visits the State only to collect suitcase (funds).
Speaking to media persons here, Kota said that the allegations made by Kumaraswamy are baseless. “We do not have suitcase or bag culture in our party, it happens in JD (S). Also, we do not expect leaders like Siddaramaiah and Kumaraswamy, to praise the BJP’s administration. Their comments are unhealthy, and a befitting reply will be given to them in an appropriate forum.”
He further clarified that there has been a delay in releasing the student incentive and that a meeting will be held in this regard with the concerned at Bengaluru on Saturday, September 4 to release the money at the earliest.
