"I am ready for a debate with Kumaraswamy on Bidadi township. Let the media decide the date. I had accepted the challenge when he was the CM. I am inviting him for the debate even now," Shivakumar said.
The JD(S) MP was addressing an indefinite protest by villagers from Byramangala, Kanchugaranahalli and surrounding areas, asserting that not even an inch of land would be surrendered.
The Bidadi Township Project is a scheme designed by Congress leaders for looting, and Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has no role in it, said Opposition Leader R. Ashok.
