Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday stayed put at Chandrika village in Yadgir as his visit to Herur village in Afzalpur taluk of Kalaburagi district was postponed due to heavy rains.
Kumaraswamy, who is on a 'Grama Vaastavya' or 'village stay program', spent the night at the Government Higher Primary School in Chandraki along with other ministers. He was sleeping on the floor.
The Chief Minister, who reached Chandraki village on Friday morning, interacted with villagers, farmers, and school students. He also held a press conference, where he denied reports that he was enjoying a 5-star treatment in the village and said that he was 'ready to sleep on the road'.
Reviving his 2006 rural outreach program, Kumaraswamy has said he wanted to conduct at least two to four stay tours every month.
"I want to do a minimum of two to four ' Grama Vaastavya ' every month," he told media before starting his tour.
