Deve Gowda’s last wish is for JD(S) to come to power in Karnataka on its own: Kumaraswamy

Former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Monday said his father and JD(S) patriarch HD Deve Gowda’s last wish is to bring the party to power in Karnataka on its own.

“Focus on where we went wrong and what we need to do next…. Last wish of Deve Gowda is to bring an independent (JDS) government. I am preparing the program for this. I need your cooperation I need you to work hard and we will give you all the strength you need,” Kumaraswamy said.

He was talking to party workers at the launch of the second phase of ‘Janata Parva 1.0’, a training workshop aimed at helping the JD(S) win 123 seats in the 2023 Karnataka Assembly elections. Kumaraswamy along with Gowda today launched ‘Janata Patrika’, the monthly magazine of JD(S).

Stating that the magazine would not just serve as the party’s mouthpiece, Kumaraswamy said, “It will not be limited to the activities of the JD(S). It will contain information on national and international developments….. I will talk about central and state policies, as well as take village level problems to the government.” He added that the magazine would not indulge in any kind of character assassination.
