Bengaluru: Hitting back at former chief minister Jagadish Shettar, senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Wednesday tweeted that the latter was a time bomb expert of the saffron party.

In a tweet, Siddaramaiah said that he feels sad for Jagadish Shettar because BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa did not let Shettar serve as Chief Minister ever for a year.

ಜಗದೀಶ್ ಶೆಟ್ಟರ್ ಒಬ್ಬ ಟೈಬಾಂಬ್ Expert.

ಪಕ್ಷದೊಳಗಿನ ತನ್ನ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ವಿರೋಧಿ ಬಿ.ಎಸ್.ಯಡಿಯೂರಪ್ಪನವರಿಗೆ ಅವರು ಇಡ್ತಾ ಇರುವ ಟೈಬಾಂಬ್‌ಗಳೆಲ್ಲ ಠುಸ್ ಆಗ್ತಾ ಇರೋದಕ್ಕೆ ಅವರು ಹತಾಶರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರಿಗೆ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಒಂದು ವರ್ಷ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಯಾಗಲು ಯಡಿಯೂರಪ್ಪ ಬಿಟ್ಟಿಲ್ಲ. ಪಾಪ ಅವರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನನಗೆ ಅನುಕಂಪ ಇದೆ.

In another tweet, he said “Jagadish Shettar who has been sidelined by Yeddyurappa is making funny comments just to show his existence in the party. No one in his party takes him seriously…Pity him!.”

ಮಾಜಿ ಸಿಎಂ@BSYBJP ಅವರಿಂದಾಗಿ ಪಕ್ಷದೊಳಗೆ ಮೂಲೆಗುಂಪಾಗಿರುವ‌ ‘Timebomb Expert’ @JagadishShettar ಅವರು ತನ್ನ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಅಸ್ತಿತ್ವ ತೋರಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಆಗಾಗ‌ ಇಂತಹ ಜೋಕುಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾಡ್ತಾ ಇರ್ತಾರೆ. ಅವರನ್ನು ಪಕ್ಷದ ಒಳಗೆ-ಹೊರಗೆ ಯಾರೂ ಗಂಭೀರವಾಗಿ ಪರಿಗಣಿಸುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ‌ ಎನ್ನುವುದೇ ಅವರ ಕೊರಗು.‌
Pity him!

Holding Siddaramaiah responsible for the current political crisis in Karnataka, Shettar on Tuesday claimed that the Congress-JD(S)coalition government would fall anytime after May 23.

The BJP leader even accused Siddaramaiah, a former chief minister, of having fixed a “time bomb” in the government.

“I have been saying from the beginning that this government may fall any time. Those signs are now very much visible. The person who has fixed the time bomb for this government is Siddaramaiah. He has kept it ready for May 23,” Shettar said.
