Gowda calls Siddaramaiah ‘neech & authoritarian’

Bengaluru: JD(S) leader H D Deve Gowda on Saturday hit out at Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and termed him as ‘neecha’, and an authoritarian.

During his speech at a party convention at Kengeri here, Gowda also lamented that he had committed a blunder by grooming Siddaramaiah in politics. Participating in a party convention in Kengeri, Gowda predicted that Siddaramaiah’s “time was up”.

“Grooming such a neecha (wretched/villainous) chief minister has been the biggest mistake of my life. With Sonia Gandhi’s might dwindling in the party, Siddaramaiah has started behaving like a dictator. He is a low-level politician,” said Gowda.

Gowda, who is bristling over being sidelined during the inauguration of the 88th Mahamastakabhisheka in Sharavanabelagola recently, also called out on Siddaramaiah “betrayal”.
