HDK predicts ‘explosive political developments’

Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has predicted what he has called “explosive political developments” unfolding in Karnataka soon.

Speaking at the JD (S) silver jubilee celebrations here on Saturday, he said judging by the political developments, “unforeseen and unexpected events are likely to occur in the coming days.”

“With political changes happening every day, every moment, it seems very possible that the State may witness a political upheaval within a few months,” he said.

Mr. Kumaraswamy said that people, meanwhile, were frustrated with poor governance, rising taxes, and spiralling prices. He criticised the financial condition of the State, saying Karnataka’s debt had crossed ₹7.5 lakh crore.
