Govt Will Complete Term: K’taka CM Kumaraswamy After Son’s Remark

“Start preparing for state polls, they may come anytime,” Nikhil Kumaraswamy is heard saying in a viral video.

Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday, 7 June, said the JD(S)-Congress coalition government headed by him would complete its five-year term and any talk of mid-term polls now is “irrelevant.”

His comments came after a video of his son Nikhil asking JD(S) workers to get ready for Assembly polls was doing the rounds on social media.

“Nikhil Kumaraswamy cheering up party workers, has told them that they should always be ready to serve the society. Not only during elections, they should always keep the party in a state of activeness so as to win the election whenever it comes. This statement of his has been quoted out of context by the media to represent that there may be election anytime.”
