Karataka CM Kumaraswamy sleeps on the floor during his village visit

Bengaluru | Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday had to stay back at Chandraki village in Yadgir as his visit to Herur (B) village in Afzalpur taluk of Kalaburagi district was postponed due to heavy rains.

The Karnataka CM is on a ‘Grama Vaastavya’ or ‘village stay programme’, and stayed the night at Government Higher Primary School in Chandraki with other ministers.

Kumaraswamy shared a photo of himself sleeping on the floor.


According to reports, he interacted with villagers, farmers and school students as a part of his 2006 rural outreach programme.

“Grama Vastavya is not a political gimmick. I had started this programme 12 years ago in a bid to develop rural areas by obtaining information from the people itself. This is not just a one-night stay at a village for me. This is a way for me to learn about the problems people in Gurmitkal are facing. The district officials and gram panchayat officials have briefed me about the problems in Gurmitkal,” Kumaraswamy said, as quoted by TheNewsMinute.

 

He also cleared the rumours of him staying in a 5-star hotel and said that he was “ready to sleep on the road”.
