GTD refutes Revanna’s claims; says no reason for arrest
Speaking to the media at his Vontikoppal residence this morning, GTD asserted that neither he nor his son had done anything warranting Police action.
“I don’t know the context in which H.D. Revanna made these remarks. I have never asked anyone to save me from arrest. I have lived an honest life and only the almighty knows my truth,” he said.
Refuting claims that Siddaramaiah or any other leader attempted to have him arrested, GTD acknowledged that Siddaramaiah had made some political manoeuvres against him but never caused him personal harm.
“Siddaramaiah praised my work and when I lost Assembly polls, B.S. Yediyurappa appointed me as Karnataka Housing Board (KHB) Chairman,” he said adding that he plans to address Revanna’s comments during the Legislative Assembly Session in Belagavi starting Dec. 9.
Highlighting his 54 years in public service without any complaints against him or his son, GTD criticised certain JD(S) leaders for dragging his name into controversies, compelling him to respond publicly.
