Bengaluru, June 13: “The differences cropped up during the formation of the coalition government cabinet are cleared. It is true that I have expressed my resentment for missing the minister post. But the allegation that I have strongly rebuked former chief minister Siddaramaiah is completely false”, said former minister HM Revanna.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, he said that it is common that one would get upset if he failed to get the chance in the cabinet. But now, he does not have any differences.”Siddaramaiah is the leader of the backward classes. He is not only the leader of the Kuruba community, but the front leader of all sections of the society. As the chief minister for five years, he has given various programmes, he said.
“Some media have misinterpreted my words of natural dissatisfaction. I have never called Siddaramaiah as the villain of Kuruba community. He is the leader of the community and not the villain”, he clarified.
“All MLAs of Kuruba community are together and there are no differences among us. I have the confidence that the party leadership would give justice to the community during the expansion of the cabinet”, he said.
When he was upset over the cabinet issue, leaders of other political parties have invited him. But he would not desert the Congress where he has been serving for the last 40 years. There is no difference between Siddaramaiah and himself, he said.
Believing the media report as truth, an MLA from the community has given a statement. For the interest of the community, all MLAs from Kuruba community should exhibit unity and support Siddaramaiah. In coming days, there is all likelihood that Siddaramaiah would shine as a national leader, he said.
Congratulating Soumya Reddy who won the Jayanagar Assembly constituency, Revanna said that people of Jayanagar have accepted the programmes of Siddaramaiah given in the last five years. Though the programmes were reached the people, the Congress had witnessed a setback due to some false propaganda. In the forthcoming Lok Sabha election, the alliance of Congress and other political parties would come to the power at the centre. Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy is doing well. It is sure that the Congress would sweep the Lok Sabha election in the state, he exuded confidence.
