Kundapur, Nov 3: Veteran Congress leader and Byndoor MLA, K Gopal Poojary, has refused to accept the responsibility of chairmanship of Karnataka Forest Corporation offered to him by the chief minister.
Poojary said that he is not comfortable discharging duty as chairman of forest corporation as forest minister, Ramanath Rai, with whom he has very cordial relationship, has been ably functioning as forest minister. He added that in his personal opinion, he would not be comfortable in that post and that he has already conveyed his decision to state president of the party.
He also felt that accepting additional responsibilities might blunt his functioning as an MLA, as he already has a large number of tasks on hand, which are to be completed and which will require his total dedication and attention.
