Let Cong leaders solve their problem: HDK
Bengaluru, June 8: “Though the dissident activity is not our problem, I have met MB Patil and discussed as it is the coalition government”, said Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy.
Speaking to reporters after meeting Patil at the latter’s house at Sadashivanagar here on Friday, Kumaraswamy said that Patil has expressed his feelings with him. He has tried to explain the present situation. But these developments are the internal aspects of the Congress party and he could not say anything more. He felt that it was his duty to make some efforts to solve the problem as the Congress is the partner of the coalition government. So, he visited his house, he said.
MB Patil has toiled hard for the Congress. It is common that he was disappointed for not getting the ministerial berth. Congress leaders have to find solution to this problem. With an intention of protecting the coalition government, he has met Patil, he said.
Patil is not in a position to decide anything on his own. Moreover, he is not alone. Some of the dissident MLAs were with him and he has to take a decision by taking all of them into confidence, he added.
Compromise efforts failed
Before HD Kumaraswamy’s visit to the house of MB Patil, some of the Congress leaders including Minister DK Shivakumar and others made a futile attempt to convince Patil. Lashing out at Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar, Ministers KJ George, RV Deshpande and DK Shivakumar, he said that he was needed for funding the election. But they did not consider him while sharing the power, he said.
“What’s my fault? Why am I denied minister post? Did I do any injustice to the Congress”, he asked.
