Karnataka Minister BZ Zameer Ahmed Khan on Tuesday tendered his apology for referring to JD(S) leader and Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy as "Kaalia", but justified it by saying there is nothing wrong with it
FIR has been registered against HD Kumaraswamy on charges of electricity theft since he had connected the Diwali lights of his residence from an electricity pole.
HD Kumaraswamy, who has already conceded that JD(S) is now too small a party to impact the outcome of Karnataka elections, does not need to 'swallow poison' anymore by allying with Congress this time.
"No one has contacted me till now. Let us see the final results first. According to the exit polls, there is no need for options. Let us see," the JD(S) leader added.
