Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on 22 September (Saturday) took everyone by surprise after he claimed that he sent Nagamangala JD(S) MLA Suresh Gowda to meet BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa.

Kumaraswamy has told the media that he possesses the recording of the conversation between the two individuals and will release it when need be.

Deccan Herald reported him as saying, “I had sent Suresh Gowda to Yeddyurappa to know what he says and the conversation has been recorded on the mobile phone. If my call to revolt against the BJP is an offence, what should I call the BJP leaders, who claimed that they will burn the state?”

Providing reassurance, CM Kumaraswamy said that no Congress MLA is in touch with the BJP. The media questioned him about Congress MLA M T B Nagaraj’s visit to Mumbai. Kumaraswamy said that he had obtained prior permission and informed that he will be returning to town on Sunday.
