Mangaluru, Feb 27: Continuing the verbal spat, minister for Environment, Ecology and Tourism C P Yogeshwar on Saturday February 27 alleged that former chief minister (CM) H D Kumaraswamy used to gamble in Singapore and Malaysia.
"I have photos. If necessary, I will release it," he said.
He was speaking to mediapersons after the ‘Meet the Press’ programme at Press Club here.
"Kumaraswamy is an opportunistic politician. He will get adjusted with any party. He is like a joker. He does not have dedication or ideology.

“When Kumaraswamy was the CM, he failed to appoint heads for various corporation and boards in the government in a democratic manner. When this is being pointed out, he cannot tolerate and this is his weakness. When he was the CM he failed to visit the constituencies. But now, he is making time for even small programmes,” he said.
Yogeshwar also said that several youths are ready to join BJP accepting the ideology of the party in the old Mysuru region. "Prior to the Vidana Sabha elections, they have formed 'Ghatabandhana' and supported left ideology. Hence, supporting him will not suit our ideology. He is not eligible for the faith,” he said.
Answering the query over Kumaraswamy’s remark as 'Bacha', Yogeshwar said, "Twenty years ago, when Kumaraswamy came to Ramanagara in slippers, even he was 'Bacha' then.”
