No change in Chief Minister: Home Minister G. Parameshwar responds to R. Ashok
Bengaluru: In response to opposition leader R. Ashok's remarks, Home Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar firmly stated that there would be no change in the Chief Ministership within the ruling party. Speaking to reporters outside his residence in Sadashivnagar, Parameshwar criticised Ashok for meddling in the party's internal matters, urging him to focus on resolving issues within his own party.
"We will not change the Chief Minister. It is the party members who will decide any changes. Let R. Ashok handle the disputes within his party," Parameshwar said.
He further dismissed any speculation about a possible change in leadership, emphasizing that the government is functioning smoothly. "There is already a Chief Minister, and governance is ongoing. The court case is still pending, so there is no need to initiate discussions about this matter," he added.
Parameshwar also assured that all ministers are actively working, with neither officers nor government secretaries sitting idle. He clarified that the Chief Minister's absence from recent events is due to ongoing court proceedings but insisted that the administration is running effectively.
Addressing concerns raised by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change regarding the Yettinahole project, Parameshwar stated that environmental compliance has been met, and other project-related work is progressing. He acknowledged concerns from the Wildlife Board about potential environmental damage but assured that the project has been conducted without causing harm. The relevant department is expected to respond to these concerns soon.
