Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 21 (ANI): Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Friday lashed out at the BJP as a “cultureless party” which patronised Bombay Boys and whose party member assaulted a woman in the Vidhana Soudha.
Speaking to reporters at Vidhana Soudha, he said, “The BJP is a cultureless party, and they don’t know how to behave in the House. They are goondas, and it is a matter of shame. I have been in the Legislative Assembly for 36 years but have never seen such behaviour.”
“The CM and the Home Minister have given statements on the honey trap case. The government can take action if someone lodges a complaint. A woman had filed a complaint that a BJP man had assaulted her in Vidhana Soudha, and the case is in the Court. Why did the Bombay Boys from the BJP bring an injunction,” he questioned.
Speaking to reporters earlier in the day at his Sadashivanagar residence and Bhagamandala helipad in Kodagu, the DCM said, “The honey trap case resembles a hit and run. I had suggested that a case be filed on Thursday itself. I am also demanding a quick investigation and action in this case.”
Asked if there was no protection for ministers who are subject to honeytrap, he said, “The people who do honeytrap don’t come to you simply. They only move when you make moves. What can they do if you don’t respond?”
Asked about BJP MLA Munirathna’s allegation that DK Shivakumar was behind the honeytrap, he said, “The police complaint against him has all the details of what he has done in Vidhana Soudha. The BJP partymen are talking about what happened to R Ashok and Yediyurappa. As you sow, so you reap.”
Earlier, he hit back at the BJP for raising the issue of the guarantee implementation committee in the Assembly. (ANI)
