Jagadish Shettar is time bomb expert, tweets Siddu

Bengaluru: Hitting back at former chief minister Jagadish Shettar, senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Wednesday tweeted that the latter was a time bomb expert of the saffron party.

In a tweet, Siddaramaiah said that he feels sad for Jagadish Shettar because BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa did not let Shettar serve as Chief Minister ever for a year.

In another tweet, he said “Jagadish Shettar who has been sidelined by Yeddyurappa is making funny comments just to show his existence in the party. No one in his party takes him seriously…Pity him!.”

Holding Siddaramaiah responsible for the current political crisis in Karnataka, Shettar on Tuesday claimed that the Congress-JD(S)coalition government would fall anytime after May 23.

The BJP leader even accused Siddaramaiah, a former chief minister, of having fixed a “time bomb” in the government.

“I have been saying from the beginning that this government may fall any time. Those signs are now very much visible. The person who has fixed the time bomb for this government is Siddaramaiah. He has kept it ready for May 23,” Shettar said.
