Bengaluru, October 14: Food and Civil Supplies Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan said that state BJP leaders have been day dreaming for power.

Speaking at a felicitation programme to MLC Venugopal, organized by the Jayanagar Citizens Forum at Jayanagar here on Sunday, the Minister said that the BJP leaders have been predicting the collapse of Congress-JDS coalition government after the by-election. But the coalition government would be safe for five years. So, it was better that the BJP leaders should stop daydreaming for power, he said.

Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy who protected the interests of the farmers by waiving off their loans, has been giving good administration. Unable to tolerate his popularity, the BJP leaders have been making false accusations, he said.

Kumaraswamy would remain as the Chief Minister for next five years without any doubt. The Coalition government would toil hard for the welfare of the state and sustainable development was the prime objective of Congress. In view of this, the Congress high command has given up the chief minister post to Kumaraswamy, he said.

KPCC President Dinesh Gundu Rao said that the Congress would identify even the marginal community and provide position, for which, M.C. Venugopal from Savitha Samaj was an example. After successfully handling various responsibilities, Venugopal had organized the party in Bengaluru. So, the MLC position was given to him. Let him organize the party further in coming days, he said.

MLA Soumya Reddy said that Venugopal was instrumental in her victory in Jayanagar constituency. He had sacrificed his constituency for her. So, she would always be grateful to him, she said.

Former minister Ramalinga Reddy, Kendra Sahitya Academy President Dr. Chandrashekar Kambara and Kuvempu Bhasha Bharati Authority President Dr. K. Marulasiddappa were present.
