I helped accused get bail: DK Shivakumar
Blackening of Mutalik’s face
Bengaluru, July 1: Water Resources Minister DK Shivakumar said that when youth Congress leader Srinivas was arrested for blackening the face of Sri Rama Sene leader Pramod Mutalik, he had helped him get the bail.
Felicitating BV Srinivas who was elected as the national Youth Congress vice president at a programme at Palace Ground in the city on Sunday, the Minister said that Srinivas was arrested when he and his friends blackened the face of Mutalik for protesting the Valentine’s Day. No other leaders had come forward to support Srinivas. But he had helped him get the bail, he recalled.
One who fights more and one who becomes more controversial would become the leader. He would support the youth and guide them, he said.
On the way to become a leader, one should face lot of hurdles. But he should be firm in his decision and work to cross all such hurdles. The person who wants to become a leader should not hesitate to any incidents. Not all are lucky to work in Congress. Those who get that opportunity would not desert the Congress. Those who knew about the party would remain as loyalist to the party. The society would identify those who serve the society. So, everybody should have service mentality in the party, he said.
'Rahul will be PM'
National Youth Congress vice president BV Srinivas said that his would remain in the Congress till his last breath and it was his aim to make Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Minister. “When I blackened the face of Mutalik, efforts were on to oust me from the Congress for three times. Then KPCC working president DK Shivakumar helped me to remain in the party”, he said.
Rajya Sabha Member GT Chandrashekar, Jayanagar MLA Soumya Reddy, state Youth Congress vice president Kemparaju, AICC secretary Ravi and others were present.
