Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has landed himself in a fresh controversy and this will take some time for him untangle. He was caught on tape telling someone – most likely a senior police officer – to “mercilessly kill” to avenge the killing of a local leader of his party, the Janata Dal-Secular or JDS.
In a video released by news agency ANI, Kumaraswamy was heard saying: “He(murdered JDS leader Prakash) was a good man, I don’t know why did they murder him. Kill them (assailants) mercilessly in a shootout, no problem.”
