H Vishwanath asks BSY not to break his promise
Mysuru: Former minister H Vishwanath has 'warned' Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa not to face disrepute by failing to live up to his word, especially since Yediyurappa is believed to fulfill his promises.
He was addressing the media after attending a programme at the Rajendra Kalamandira in the city on Sunday.
“I am not demanding a portfolio in your Cabinet, it is your choice to give me. I am still asking you to utilise my experience. Don't be a silent watcher, speak up as a leader is what the people too are asking of you,” Vishwanath passed a message to Yediyurappa.
Further, the former minister said, “My stature will neither rise nor fall if I am given a seat in the Legislative Council. I am just myself.”
National-level politics runs on trust and sentiment. It is necessary for the political leaders to retain both, Vishwanath pointed out.
