I missed the chance due to some swamijis: Horatti
Hubballi, June 8: MLC Basavaraj Horatti said that he missed the ministerial berth in the coalition government as some bluff swamijis spread the rumour against him that he is dividing the Lingayat religion.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, Horatti said that his fight for the separate religion status for Lingayat community had become a crime. He was in the forefront in that movement. He has not fought for the Lingayat religion because he is from JDS. Moreover, he has informed both HD Deve Gowda and HD Kumaraswamy over this issue, he said.
When observed the developments of sharing the minister posts, his fight for separate religion tag for Lingayat community cost him more. Some people have begged the minister post. But he would not do such act, he said.
“I have been receiving many phone calls saying that ‘experienced people like you should have been there in the cabinet’. But the personwho gives minister position has not considered me for the post. Party supremo HD Deve Gowda’s decision is ultimate and it is left to the party to make me the Legislative Council Chairman”, he said.
He was elected to the Legislative Council for seven times from the Teachers Constituency. If he was the Minister, he could have done something to that section. But now, he is not a minister and work as an MLA, he said.
