He took to Twitter to blast the government for being ‘busy in power politics instead of helping people in distress’.

Siddaramaiah said, ” Crops have been destroyed in many districts due to floods and 9 people have lost their lives. It is unfortunate that the representatives of the govt are busy in power politics instead of helping the people in distress.”

Talking about BS Yediyirappa’s resignation, he said, “There is no benefit for the common man if one corrupt CM is removed to make another corrupt as CM. Instead, the whole BJP party, which is responsible for the miseries of people, should be ousted.”

In another tweet, Siddaramaiah said, “It is a norm in democracy for CM to resign when his party loses in elections. A definite reason has to be given to the people of Karnataka when a Chief Minister of the party with a majority resigns. What is the reason for BSY’s resignation? Old age or corruption?”

“Many BJP leaders have publicly spoken about Yediyurappa ‘s corruption. PM Narendra Modi who always says ‘Na Khaunga, Na Khanedunga’ should show courage to initiate investigation about the allegations of corruption on Yediyurappa,” he added.

Further lashing out at BJP, he said, “I feel sympathy for Yediyurappa. Delhi leaders had repeatedly expressed that Yediyurappa has become old. I can only wish for his happy & peaceful life ahead. Corruption is in the DNA of BJP and this will not change with the change in Chief Minister. BJP had come to power through unethical ‘Operation Kamala’ & Karnataka will be better off only with the ousting of BJP.”

The resignation by BS Yediyurappa was expected and I had told about this long back. There is nothing to be celebrated about it now. We will celebrate only when the corrupt BJP party loses in the election & that will happen very soon,” he added.
