JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy on Saturday made it clear that the doors of JD(S) are permanently closed for MLA G T Devegowda, who is staying away from the party activities since 2018.

Kumaraswamy said the party workers have expelled Devegowda from the party.

Without taking any names, he said, “Devegowda performed ‘Kalyanotsava’ at a temple for the welfare of someone and to make him chief minister.”

A few days ago, the leader of opposition Siddaramaiah and district in-charge minister had attended the event. “JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda, myself and my son Nikhil had made several attempts to convince Devegowda and now it is a closed chapter,” he said.
