Hiremath JD(S) agent, says DKS

BANGALORE: In the wake of founder-president of Dharwad-based Samaj Parivartan Samudaya (SPS) S R Hiremath’s plan to file an Interlocutory Application in the Supreme Court alleging the involvement of former minister and MLA D K Shivakumar in illegal mining, the latter described Hiremath as “an agent of JD(S)”. Addressing a news conference here on Thursday, he said, “Former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy is using Hiremath as a pawn.” Describing these allegations as “baseless and foolish”, Shivakumar said,  “All transactions have been done as per agreement. The documents with Hiremath are nothing but a bundle of lies.”
