Bengaluru, June 27: Water Resources and Medical Education Minister DK Shivakumar said that no one should speak against the party and it would apply to everybody including himself.

Speaking to reporters at his residence in the city on Wednesday, Shivakumar said that leaders should worship the party instead of worshiping an individual. The statement of former chief minister Siddaramaiah would not have any impact on the future of the JDS-Congress coalition government, he said.

Here party is important and not the person. Moreover, the statement of Siddaramaiah is not official. There is no need to read much about it. This coalition government would complete five years because, the agreement was signed between AICC president Rahul Gandhi and state incharge KC Venugopal. The government was given complete support. No one should give anti-party statements, he said.  

The agreement made between Congress and JDS leaders at Ashoka Hotel was official and final. No one should give statement on alliance or the party, he said appealing the party leaders not to create any confusion.

Reacting to the statement of former MLA Cheluvarayaswamy that alliance is restricted to Bengaluru and not to Mandya, Shivakumar said that such statements were wrong. Poll alliance would change based on the requirement and time, he said.

On July 5, a programme would be held at Nonavinakere Ashrama of Tiptur and it was fixed before the Assembly election. Governor Vajubhai Vala would participate in it. So, he could not participate on the Budget Session to be held on the same day. He would try to attend the Budget presentation session. But there is no need to misinterpret it, he appealed.
