Bengaluru, Oct. 13 -- Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Tuesday said the recent political developments in the state are giving rise to an "extremely bad political culture" and that such a culture must come to an end.

Addressing the media, Kumaraswamy said he was raising the issue with pain. He said he would not comment on the incident in Delhi yesterday in which Chief Minister DK Shivakumar was allegedly pulled by security personnel during a protest, but added that "the day is not far when even his chair will be pulled away."

He said people of the state are facing several serious issues including farmers' demand for a scientifically determined price for sugarcane, drought situation, and issues related to Bidadi township and NICE project....
