Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy on Sunday (October 18, 2026) expressed confidence that JD(S)-BJP coalition government would come to power in Karnataka in 2028, and said he would “show another face” this time.
Addressing reporters, he said he had never misused power during his time in office. “When I was in power earlier, I did not misuse power. I let everything be free.” he said. Referring to allegations of a ₹150 crore scam against him, he said he had not misused power even then and had fought alone, as he does today.
Recalling the BJP’s rise in 2008-09, he said the Congress had not fought the ruling party then and that he had done so himself, placing documents on maladministration before the public. “Where was the Congress then?” he asked.
