Condemning the BJP over detention of his cabinet colleagues in Mumbai and for the protest at the Vidhana Soudha here, Karnatka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy Wednesday accused it of crossing all boundaries of democracy and civil code of conduct.
In a strongly-worded statement here, he sought to know from the BJP whether it was polity of democracy or the ugly display of its tyrannical mindset.
Maintaining that four Karnataka Ministers, including D K Shivakumar, were taken into custody by Mumbai police, he said it was not only a violation of the protocol but also a reflection of the "feudal mindset".
Karnataka has become a laughing stock due to their (BJPs) behaviour guided by their lust for power. Is it a polity of democracy or an ugly display of its tyrannical mindset? Kumaraswamy said.
He charged that the BJPs behaviour "crossed all the boundaries of democracy and the civil code of conduct."
