Non-BJP government to come to power at Centre: Siddaramaiah
‘Lazy ministers to get gate-pass’
Bengaluru, September 25: CLP leader Siddaramaiah said that it was hundred per cent sure that the non-BJP government would come to power at the centre in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing the CLP meeting at a private hotel here on Tuesday, Siddaramaiah said that AICC President Rahul Gandhi would become the Prime Minister of the country. So, each elected representative should organize the party in their respective constituencies strongly. No opportunity should be given to destabilize the coalition government. The high command has entrusted the responsibility of protecting the coalition government in the state, for which the MLAs should extend their full support, he said.
Those who get the party high command green signal would become the ministers. AICC President Rahul Gandhi has directed him to conduct evaluation of the working style of the ministers once in six months. The ministers who do not work to the expectations of the party would not last longer, he asked the dissident MLAs that your differences should not be the food for others. The BJP has been encouraging the operation lotus. But you should not yield to any attractions and should not take any hasty decisions, he said.
“Have you ever imagined about your future if you desert the party? Understand the present position of the leaders who have left the party and joined BJP and how those leaders are being treated in that party. The party will identify you in right time and entrust the responsibility. But till then, you have to wait with patience”, he advised the MLAs.
Impossible to organize party
Some of the MLAs expressed their anger against Siddaramaiah and Parameshwar saying that they were not getting the funds to develop their constituencies and how they should develop the constituency and organize the party, they asked.
Some constituencies were getting Funds, Projects and Programmes without any hindrance. What about their constituencies? Though the coalition government was formed four months back, no works were being taken up in their constituencies, they averred.
If they give statements openly about the injustice, it was being termed as dissident activity. If they keep quiet, they would not get anything. They were not in a position to give answer to the people of their constituencies. Though the Congress MLAs were more in the coalition government, they were in a position to beg everything. Even the officers transfer had also become unilateral. They were not getting the officers they want. They were not getting the solutions to their problems even if they express with you. The people in the government were not listening to their problems, they expressed their anger against the DCM and other ministers indirectly.
Silly excuses were being given for not expanding the Cabinet. They were unable to discuss it with the party high command, but they were being targeted for everything, they said.
Only Ramanagar constituency was getting everything and all permissions. Why the CM is discriminating them, asked Yeshwanthpura MLA S.T. Somashekar.
KPCC President Dinesh Gundu Rao, Working President Eshwar Khandre, Deputy Chief Minister Dr G. Parameshwar, Former Chief Minister Veerappa Moily, Ministers, MPs and Rajya Sabha Members participated in the meeting.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
