Allegation of illegal electricity connection: HD Kumaraswamy, reacting to BESCOM’s case against HDK, said, “My house has been decorated with electric lights for the Diwali festival.
A private decorator was asked to do this.” , After decorating the house with electric lights, he took the electric connection from the adjacent pole and tested it. I was in the garden at that time.
I remembered this when I came back home last night. I removed it immediately. And took the electricity connection from the meter board of the house. This is the real situation. There is nothing to hide in this.” A notice. I will pay the fine. State Congress is doing this to get publicity by making big deals. I am worried about the small mentality of that party.
“I have not taken state property. Those who saw this, their land was not fenced. The thirst for money is not quenched by drinking the blood of others. The Deputy Chief Minister said that Kumaraswamy has stolen electricity, BESCOM should take action. I am at home. Let the BESCOM officials come.
I am ready for any action they take.” Also, while replying to the media regarding this, HDK said, “I have not done anything that will sink the country and the state. I am ready to pay whatever fine will be imposed as per the government policy. I myself have asked you to give notice. I have done it.
I don’t get the evil one who steals electricity. Should I steal electricity worth Rs 2-3 thousand? Responding to Congress, he said, “I will give money to those who come closer to home.”
