Bagalkote: I could become CM only because I joined Congress - Siddaramaiah

Daijiworld Media Network - Bagalkote (SP)

Bagalkote, Oct 29: At a time when Congress has entered into alliance with JD(S) in fighting the bypoll for three Lok Sabha and two assembly constituencies in the state jointly, he launched indirect verbal attack against the coalition partner.

"I became chief minister of Karnataka as I joined Congress party. Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi reposed faith in my capacity and made me the chief minister," he remarked, indicating that he would have been continued to be sidelined if he had continued in JD(S).

Siddaramaiah passed this remark when addressing a meeting of representatives of Kuruba community in the backdrop of Jamkhandi assembly bypoll.

"As the chief minister of the state for five years, I implemented various schemes for the welfare of the people in general. Do you think anyone other than me could have risen to become the chief minister from Kuruba community?

“The legislators supported me as everyone wanted me to head the state. I was defeated from Chamundeshwari constituency as my opponents were jealous about my prospects of becoming chief minister again. For defeating me, all and sundry joined hands in that constituency. But people of Badami constituency supported me and reinforced my political existence," he stated.

    What a insult to 6crores of Kannadigas. In a democracy ex CM openly declares he changed party just to become CM and says he is not selfish. He openly says not the ppl of Karnataka but dodamma and pappu made him CM both of them r not voters of Karnataka. This is the fate of Democracy in India under chaddiless

    You are wrong. People of this country don't directly elect PM nor CM. It's the MPs & MLAs. That's why these idiots talk crap.

    Congress must NOT do any campaigning in coming election. Congress must completely focus on EVM machines and prevent any malpractice. That's sufficient to win the election.

    Though CONgress made new entrant into party then SIDDU as CM ignoring long time seniors veterans like Kharge, RVD, DiKeShi, DiGuRa, Kagodu etc, post an uneventful 5 year run, Siddu successfully made CONgress a regional outfit by making 123 seats as 78. Not only did 18 Ministers of party loose badly, Siddu himself lost deposit in one seat & narrowly escaped from another.
    Siddu has destroyed CONgress who are now playing SECOND FIDDLE to JD(S)

    Siddhu not an Oppurtunist really? He hopped from JDS to Cong just to become the CM. He is not an original Congressi. If he was so good ha ha ha, he would not have been trashed to pulp in his home constituency. RaGa has reposed his faith in him after the election results by rightly appointing him as the messenger man of HDK and family.

    I think what he says is , in JDS only Gowda Family can become CM. not about his desire. I believe in one thing that Leader remains leader if he is true one.

    One point to note. Whenever JDS leads the Govt. PWD remains with them. Revanna keeps this ministry. Why? Point to ponder.
