Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy on Saturday said that Congress leaders repeatedly target him because they are scared of him.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Kumaraswamy said, 鈥淐ongress leaders are more interested in politics than in serving the people. They are scared of me. Ever since the BJP-JD(S) alliance was formed, they have lost sleep, which is why they keep targeting me.鈥
Reacting to Congress leaders鈥 claims of coming back to power, Mr. Kumaraswamy said, 鈥淟et them rule for the next five or even fifty years. But first, they should fulfil the responsibilities entrusted to them by the people. Ultimately, it is the people who decide who will come to power next.鈥
Commenting on the infighting within the Congress over the Chief Minister鈥檚 chair, he said, 鈥淗ow will people trust a party engaged in such infighting? People are observing everything.鈥
