Cong suspends Roshan Baig: What’s former CM Siddaramaiah’s version?
New Delhi: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah clarified that he has not suspended Shivajinagar Congress MLA Roshan Baig from the party.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, Siddaramaiah said that Roshan Baig was served notice from the KPCC on anti-party activities. But he did not give answer to the notice. In view of this, the KPCC has recommended the high command to take disciplinary action against him. Based on it, the AICC has suspended him from the party, he said.
Reacting to Roshan Baig’s statement that “I am in Indian Congress and I am not in Siddu Congress”, Siddaramaiah said that, “All of us are in Indian Congress. But I don’t know where is Roshan Baig?”
On JDS state president H Vishwanath’s statement on granting land to Jindal company, Siddaramaiah said that “instead of dragging my name in the issue, let him discuss with the Chief Minister. I have already spoken to Industries Minister KJ George and asked him to verify it”, he said.
