BSY-Eshwarappa's dream of becoming CM won't come true: Siddaramaiah
'BJP recalls Rama only during election time’
Hubballi, Dec 2: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah said that the dream of BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa and MLA K.S. Eshwarappa to become chief minister would not come true.
Speaking to reporters at the airport here on Sunday, he said that the BJP leaders have been saying that the coalition government would collapse after cabinet expansion. But the BJP has no majority. Even then, they have been dreaming of becoming the chief ministers.
Their dream would not be fulfilled. The Congress-JDS coalition government would not have any threat. It was safe, he said.
"No one has complained against me to the high command. It's just a rumour. Interest of the Congress MLAs is not neglected in coalition government. Our MLAs have not put pressure on cabinet expansion", he clarified.
BJP people have been playing games in government programs and cabinet expansion. But a decision would be taken on cabinet expansion at coordination committee meeting to be held on December 5, he said.
As to why Prime Minister Narendra Modi who speaks about corruption has not implemented Lok Pal Bill, he asked.
The dues of sugarcane factories would be cleared and all factories were directed to crush the sugarcane as per the central government FRP rate, he said.
"BJP has been doing political drama in Ram Mandir issue. It recalls Rama only during election time and later forget him. Why the BJP has not spoken anything about Mandir during its administration? They want the issue to be alive".

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
