I want to treat everyone equally. This is the basic ideology of the Congress party. My best wishes to Siddaramaiah.”
I am not a backstabbing person. I’m not even a blackmailer. Those who have such culture should do so. why would I do that? I will not do that. I don’t want to create wrong history. One who is born has to go one day or the other. I do not want to leave any wrong mark”, D.K. Shivkumar also explained this.
