It’s our govt for next five years: HD Revanna
Hubballi, June 17: PWD Minister HD Revanna said that as the JDS-Congress coalition government rule the state for next five years, the party workers should get panic for the words of others.
After holding a meeting of the officials of his department at the Inspection Bungalow here on Sunday, Revanna said that there is no need to listen to the words of the Opposition party. Without any problem, the coalition government would complete its five year term. There is no doubt in it, he said.
“I am getting free publicity saying that I am super CM in the coalition government. But I have not done anything other than PWD works. I have given the list officials to the RDPR department. It is left to them to post them wherever they want. I have not interfered in Water Resource department. If the Congress president asked me, I would answer him. DK Shivakumar and I are good friends. Unfortunately, someone is trying to create a controversy between us”, he said.
