Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Tuesday said that the media misinterpreted his recent speech where he broke down.
Kumaraswamy fought back tears at a party function on Saturday when he said that he was “swallowing the pain of the coalition government.”
“I didn’t speak about the Congress or any Congress leader. I didn’t mention anything about Congress in my speech. That was a party programme and I got emotional. The media misinterpreted my speech,” Kumaraswamy was quoted as saying by a news agency on Tuesday.
At the event, he also said he was finding it difficult to cope with the pressures of the office and that the post of CM was a bed of thorns.
Reacting to Kumaraswamy’s emotional comments, the BJP called him a “legendary actor” and accused him of “fooling the common man.”
The Congress-JD(S) contested each other for the Karnataka Assembly polls in May but came together to form a post-poll alliance. However, doubts have constantly floated whether this government will complete its term.
