Bengaluru, Jun 16: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah has made it clear that he was not interested in becoming the president of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC).
“No, I am not in the race,” said the Congress leader when asked about his name doing the rounds for the KPCC chief post, which is currently held by Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara.
Siddaramaiah also lamented that people have defeated him in recent assembly polls though he had worked for them selflessly. “The people rejected our (Congress) government. They did not accept our programmes. I have accepted the people’s decision,” he said criptically.
Siddaramaiah’s name, along with other party leaders K H Muniyappa, Dinesh Gundu Rao, M B Patil, Satish Jarkiholi and B K Hariprasad are on the grapevine for the post of KPCC president, which will gain significance ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha election.
