Alleging that the BJP was behind the political turmoil in Maharashtra, former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy felt that it would be better if the BJP brought in a Bill banning elections so that it could remain in power for ever.
Speaking to presspersons at the helipad in Shivamogga on Sunday, Mr. Kumaraswamy said there was no guarantee of the government surviving till the end of the term despite having a clear majority. Anytime the BJP could topple the government. “Hence, it would be better if the BJP tells all other parties not to contest elections so that leaders could stop spending money and spoiling health in the name of elections. Better, if they bring in a Bill to ban elections”, he said.
No doubt the BJP was engaged in Operation Lotus in Maharashtra as it did in Karnataka. “With the help of a few Congress leaders in Karnataka, the BJP executed Operation Lotus earlier. Now, the same is being repeated in Maharashtra”, he said.
