Karnataka has found a dynamic and aggressive chief minister in the form of DK Shivakumar, who is completely in contrast to the previous CM Siddharmaiah, who was comparatively calmer and patient in nature.

DK Shivakumar has already started targeting his political opponents in Karnataka, and he appears to be putting them under intense political pressure.

The President of JDS, which is another mainstream political party in Karnataka, HD Kumaraswamy, who is also an union minister alleged that CM Shivakumar is conspiring to eliminate their family completely.

“It has come to our notice that chief minister is out on the mission to completely eliminate the HD Devegowda (Kumaraswamy’s father) family politically. He has paid a contract killing supari of ₹600 crore to finish the job. He is speaking about a sting operation that apparently exposes our family, but his intentions are very clear. He wants to completely eliminate us politically.” Kumaraswamy publicly stated today.

However, the Karnataka Congress has immediately refuted these allegations and said there’s no such sting operation or Supari deal to eliminate the Devegowda family. They are commenting that this is just a desperate attempt from Kumaraswamy to grab media attention.
