Zameer retaliates against Tanveer for ‘not popular MLAs’ statement
Bengaluru, June 19: “I won’t claim that I am a popular leader of the Muslim community. I am just a public servant. I’ll also come to former minister Tanveer Sait’s constituency. Let him also come. Then people will know who can pull the crowd”, Food and Civil Supplies Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan challenged Tanveer Sait.
Speaking to reporters at his office at Vidhana Soudha here on Tuesday, the Minister said that “I am not a film star to become popular leader. I am a social worker. But I have a challenge to Tanveer Sait. I’ll also come to his constituency. Let him also come. Truth will come out”, he said.
“I am not a relative of AICC president Rahul Gandhi to give me the minister post. The party high command has taken all considerations into account and based on that, it has given the opportunity to those who are efficient. In the same way, I was also given the minister post and this might have caused disappointment to senior leaders”, he said.
After becoming the minister, he met the community senior leaders like Rehman Khan, CM Ibrahim and NA Haris. He has called Roshan Baig. As he has gone out, he could not meet Baig and he was waiting for his phone call, he said.
I knew my strength
He has not done anything to defeat Tanveer Sait. But he came to know about his strength from the people who termed ‘he is not the leader of Muslim community’, he said.
I want that car
“It is true that I have asked Fortuner car. I am comfortable travelling in big cars. So, I have asked for Fortuner. It was used by Siddaramaiah, for which I have asked that car. I want the same car, because I love the car as it was used by Siddaramaiah. I like Siddaramaiah also. So I have asked that car. There is nothing good and bad. Power is not permanent and it is not possible to keep everything forever”, he said.
“I am committed to my earlier statement that I will make a Guinness record I became a minister. But let me give some time and I will show my achievement in the department”.
