Mysuru: Amid the slug fest over gas supply through pipeline, Bharatiya Janata Party MLC A. H. Vishwanath has come in support of Mysuru – Kodagu BJP Member of Parliament Pratap Simha, saying, “The project has been approved by the Centre for the people. Our own MP and MLAs fighting over it is not good. When the roads are dug up for other purposes, no one opposes. The project should be allowed to come through. Our MLAs are servants and not owners.”
Turning his attention to senior Congress leader and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, he said, “I was in Congress for 40 years and I brought Siddaramaiah from JD (S). And then Siddaramaiah tried to finish many of us politically. Now, he is bribing MLAs from other parties to join Congress. When we quit Congress, he spoke so much and what he is doing now. With Ramesh Kumar as Speaker, he tried to play all the dirty tricks.”
Vishwanath said, “Voters know everything and they will teach Siddaramaiah a lesson at the right time. Siddaramaiah should be grateful to C. M. Ibrahim and many of us. Siddaramaiah is struggling without a constituency.”
