member of Shikaripur local body, he said he used to cycle around the town during early mornings and
would go to the office later in the day. "I've always done what I've set for," he said even as he admitted
that he was not sure whether he should float new political party. Referring to emergence of regional
parties as dominant forces in states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, he said there
is need for a strong political alternative to national parties in Karnataka. "I've not formed KJP out to
vengeance," he asserted. Asked about his views about the move by the BJP government to ban cow
slaughter, he said he supports it. Muslims have not asked to ban cow slaughter, he replied to a question.
With leaders from Mysore and Chamarajnagar districts in tow, the former CM looked confident to take on
both BJP and Congress but was soft towards the latter. "Illa, illa, illa (no, non, no)," he said when asked
whether Congress has given him supari to weaken BJP as alleged by JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy.
Why are you dragging Congress into my political fight, he replied. During his visit, he logged one of the
staunch supporters of Siddaramaiah. The former ZP president B M Ramu joined KJP at the minorities
meet. (Times of India 13/12/12)
