New Delhi: Referring to the ongoing row over the forthcoming film ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’, the Karnataka unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has taken a jibe at HD Kumaraswamy by calling him an ‘Accidental CM’. “If there was a movie titled Accidental CM who will play the role of HD Kumaraswamy,” the Opposition BJP asked in a tweet.
The party also launched a blistering attack on the Karnataka CM over his Singapore visit to celebrate the new year, at a time when most parts of the state are reeling under drought, the Karnataka unit of the BJP said,”After new govt was formed 377 farmers have ended their lives 156 talukas declared drought-hit, loan waiver has still not been done, Karnataka has slipped to a debt ridden state and here we have the so called son of soil CM Kumaraswamy celebrating new year in Singapore.”
If there was a movie titled #AccidentalCM who will play the role of @hd_kumaraswamy ?

Notably, the Karnataka CM is scheduled to abroad with family on December 29 night on a personal visit and return on the night of January 1, 2019. CMO officials had claimed that it has been a practice for the Janata Dal (Secular) leader to celebrate the new year with family for the last few years.
The chief minister’s foreign visit comes at a time when voices of displeasure have emerged from his own party, the JD(S), against the ruling alliance partner, the Congress. JD(S) workers and leaders have openly expressed their unhappiness against the Congress on a host of issues, including appointment of heads to boards and corporations that are yet to be finalised. According to sources, the Congress is said to have forwarded its list of 19 legislators to head boards and corporations to the chief minister. The move has irked the JD(S) leadership as they were not consulted.
