Bengaluru: Now in Karnataka Chief Minister carrying on tug of war was not over. Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Parameshwara warned the central leadership that if the deputy CM is not made from the Dalit community, there will be an adverse reaction. And a new problem will arise for the party. Let us tell you that in 2018, when HD Kumaraswamy formed the coalition government with the Congress, Parameshwara was the deputy CM at that time. He comes from Dalit community.
This threat from Parameshwara has come at a time when the Congress high command has talked about making Siddaramaiah the CM of Karnataka and DK Shivakumar the Deputy CM. Although Shivkumar has agreed to become deputy CM on this condition, only he will have this post in the state, others will not be given this responsibility.
We will keep an eye on cabinet expansion
Parameshwara said that the Dalit community expected from the top Congress leadership that they would not do injustice to them. That’s why Congress has to understand our aspirations. If he does not do this, then there will be a lot of trouble for the party. They should understand this thing of mine seriously. Talking to the media, the former Deputy CM said that I was eligible for both the posts of Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister. But now we have to follow the decision of the high command, as well as see how much justice will be done to us during the expansion of the cabinet.
On the other hand, on the announcement of Siddaramaiah becoming the CM, he said that he is going to become the Chief Minister for the second time from the party, we expect him to give good administration. I have full hope that he will take care of our manifesto. He also said that the party should take care of all sections.
