What Siddaramaiah said about another DCM post?
Bagalkote, June 10: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah denied the chances of creating another Deputy Chief Minister post in the coalition government as all confusions and differences among Congress MLAs were solved.
Speaking to reporters at Neelaguma village in Badami assembly constituency on Sunday, Siddaramaiah said that he discussed with the party high command and the dissidents. He has convinced them, but he has not given any promises, he said.
News that he has not contacted the dissident MLAs is just a rumour. He has been speaking to them once or twice daily. Those who were appointed as ministers now would continue for two years. Later, other eligible MLAs would get the opportunity, he clarified.
The high command has not invited him to New Delhi. AICC president Rahul Gandhi would take a decision on appointing KPCC president. He would not recommend anybody for the KPCC president post. If Rahul Gandhi asked him, he would convey his opinion, he added.
The first meeting of the Coordination Committee of the JDS-Congress coalition government will be held under the chairmanship of Siddaramaiah either a private hotel or Kumara Krupa guest house in Bengaluru on June 14.
