Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said that he will abide by the decision of the party high command and MLAs amid talks of his replacement from the top post. The CM said this while answering questions from the media personnel in his hometown Mysuru.
Reacting to the statement of former minister and senior leader RV Deshpande that he is ready to take over the Chief Minister's post in case of replacement, CM Siddaramaiah said, "How will the CM be made? Party MLAs and high command will decide in this regard Whatever decision they take will abide by it."
When the media teased him with a question that how looked fresh after a long time even as the BJP was claiming that he was looking dull in the wake of the MUDA case CM Siddaramaiah laughed and said, "The opposition has lied in the matter. If their lie is not proven, it is going to be difficult for them. I have not told lies nor have I issued false statements and have not made any mistake."
Replying to a question on the Congress government's allegedly using a report on Covid by the judicial commission against the BJP, CM Siddaramaiah stated that the report submitted to the government in this regard is going to be placed before the cabinet on Thursday. "I don't know about the recommendation of the commission. We will look into."
BJP MP and former state Health Minister K. Sudhakar has claimed that the report was being used as a political weapon by the Congress. "One should not worry too much when his role is not there. Why is he desperate? How can they know that it is a false report? Pass comments once the report is in the public domain. BJP MP Sudhakar is guilty and he is mentally disturbed, he knows he is guilty," said the CM.
