Mangalore: 'BJP Ready to Welcome Siddu' - Eshwarappa


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore (SP)

Mangalore, Dec 15: "Energy minister K S Eshwarappa said, that the ex-deputy chief minister Siddaramaiah was neglected by the JD(S). The Congress too has failed to give him proper recognition and position matching his stature. As a result, he has been grossly sidelined," said state energy minister K S Eshwarappa.

Speaking to reporters in the city on Sunday December 14, Eshwarappa felt that the time is ripe for the veteran leader to take a decision about his political future. "If he decides to come into our fold, the party is prepared to welcome him," he clarified.

"The BJP is sure to win most of the assembly seats that are going for the by-polls shortly. The fact that the party was able to prepare and release the list of its candidates for the election even before the election dates were finalized, will work to the party's advantage. While the BJP has undertaken aggressive electioneering, the Congress and the JD(S) continue to grope for suitable candidates, he criticized.  He also added that the BJP candidate Chennigappa is sure to win from Madhugiri, where he is pitted against strong contenders.

    Siddu is a great leader having mass followings in South India. Congress should have not neglected him. Till yesterday, he was a star campainer for the party but all of sudden he is a unwanted person for the Congress. People calling him as power hungry are foolish. It is nothing wrong a charismatic leader wanting CM or any posting and he has that quality in abundance unlike Shivakumar or Deshpande. Let us see their leadership inspires the voters in the by-election. Siddaramaiah is a only Finance Minister in the state who presented surplus budget and also achieved the same successively for 6 times. He is a stright forward with clean image and it is nothing wrong in expecting a stright forward man becoming CM.
