Tumakuru, June 4: Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar said that HD Kumaraswamy will be the Chief Minister for five years as there is neither confusion nor differences in the coalition government.

In his first visit to the district Congress officer after becoming the deputy chief minister, here on Tumakuru, Parameshwar said that out of 11 Assembly constituencies, the Congress has won in three constituencies. The voters have supported the Congress even in other constituencies and it was his responsibility to thank them, he said.

“We have formed a coalition government as there is a legal provision for it. Based on this, we had requested the Governor. But the Governor had invited the BJP as it was the single largest party to form the government. We had moved the Supreme Court against it. Everyone knows the next development. Before the floor test, Yeddyurappa resigned from the post. Later, we have proved the majority in the floor test and we will run the government for five years without any problem”, he said.

The state has received timely monsoon. The government has already directed the agriculture department to distribute fertilizer and seeds in time. There is sufficient seeds and fertilizer. The government work for the welfare of the farmers. District incharge minister would be appointed for each district shortly. He would have the credit of representing Tumakuru district as the first Deputy Chief Minister. He would make use of this opportunity and bring more programmes to the district, he said.

DK Shivakumar was a honest and disciplined soldier of the party. He does not have any difference. He would handle any responsibility in the party. It would be disclosed on June 6 that who will become the ministers. Portfolios would be distributed keeping in mind the social justice, he said.

Cong-JDS combine to contest LS polls

Both Congress and JDS would contest together for the Lok Sabha election in the state. But it was not yet decided about seat sharing. Whether Kumaraswamy is the CM for five years or not is the problem of Congress party and not the media issue. Congress general secretary has already clarified about it, he said.
