Zameer Ahmed Khan speaks regarding CM Kumaraswamy after becoming minister
Bengaluru: Former CM Siddaramaiah, Parameshwara and Venugopal trusted me and gave me the ministership. My responsibility on the party is now even higher, said new minister Zamir Ahmed Khan.
Speaking to reporters after swearing-in as a cabinet minister at the Glass House in Rajbhavan on Wednesday, he said, "I did not wish to become a minister. However, now I will handle any ministership given to me."
I am not working with Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy newly. I worked with him even In 2006 when he was the chief minister. Kumaraswamy is a man who works with cooperation and takes everyone along with him. And now also he would continue by taking all into confidence.
It is true that some people are unhappy after missing ministerial berth. Roshan Baig was the minister in the previous government. But this time, to allow newcomers and new faces, High Command has given me the opportunity.
Speaking at the occasion, new minister Shivananda Patil said, "I work honestly to do something new to the state. I will work prominently and accept whatever post the government gives me.
Dr. Jayamala, who sworn-in as the only woman minister in the Congress- JD(S) coalition government, said "I was not an aspirant of ministership. However; party chiefs, Siddaramaiah and Parameshwara have trusted me and given responsibility. I will work cautiously and honestly without bringing any stigma on the government.
The new minister UT Khader said, "It is my pleasure to get another opportunity to serve the people of the state as a minister. Thanks to the people of the constituency, the state, and the national leaders. We all must be committed to the party orders. Those who work and sacrifice for the party would get an honor. There is no disagreement within our party. Senior leaders are in touch with the party high command continuously and engaged in discussion.
