New Delhi:  Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy said that no one can ‘touch’ him at least till the 2019 LokSabha polls are over on a question over the longevity of the Congress-JD(S) coalition government in the state.

“This coalition government will function with stability. I know, no one can touch me for one year. I will be there at least for one year, until the LokSabha election is over. Until then, no one can do anything to me, he said.

Addressing an event in Bengaluru, Kumaraswamy said he would not remain silent during the period that he has got and would focus on taking decisions for the benefit of the state.

“So in the opportunity that I have got, rather than going into what others have done, what I have done will be my message. In doing this, the environment is also in my favour (with good rains),” he added.

Kumaraswamy’s comments come even his coalition government is dealing with resentment among newly elected Congress lawmakers who were left out during the expansion of the Cabinet .

As the May 12 assembly polls in the state threw up a hung assembly, Congress and JD(S) joined hands to form a post-poll alliance to keep out the BJP, which had emerged as the single largest party.The Chief Minister also reiterated that he was committed to waiving farm loans and would announce it shortly.

“Dear farmers, let there be no confusion on farm loan waiver. I am fully committed to the loan waiver. I want to ensure it is done scientifically benefiting maximum number of farmers. I am working on the the modalities and will announce it shortly,” Kumaraswamy said in a tweet on his official twitter handle @CMofKarnataka.

Rubbishing reports that questioned his commitment on a farm loan waiver, Kumaraswamy while speaking at the event, said he would “not escape” from his commitment.
