Amit Shah assured Shettar to give him greater responsibilites at national level: CM Bommai
Hubballi: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Sunday said dropping the name of Jagadish Shettar from the candidate list was a call taken by the party’s high command. He also added that his name was recommended by state and district-level committees.
Speaking to media reporters in Hubballi, Bommai said he was hurt and pained by Shettar’s decision to quit BJP.
“It is a time of generational change and transition and that is why Shettar missed out on the ticket. His decision might hurt the party’s prospects in a limited way, but we will take all measures required for damage control,” Bommai said.
“The party under the leadership of PM Modi is trying to bring change in the established politics. JP Nadda and Amit Shah also assured Shettar that he will be given greater responsibilities at the national level. He shouldn’t have quit the party,” he further added.
