Rift deepens: G Parameshwar to be kept out of ministry

CM supporters to block Parameshwar entry as he scuttled their plans to appoint legislator
BENGALURU: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s supporters are determined to block KPCC president Dr G. Parameshwar’s entry into the cabinet because he managed to scuttle their plans to appoint legislators as heads of state-owned boards and corporations. Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, a senior leader said: “Dr Parameshwar may have succeeded in sensing popular sentiment among leaders in Delhi and turned against us.
But, it will not be too late to turn the same table on him. We will unleash a campaign against him and deny him the cabinet berth by stating that defeated leaders should not be accommodated in the ministry. Our campaign against Dr Parameshwar will help us to turn MLAs and defeated candidates against him,” the leader added.
The leader said Mr. Siddaramaiah took up the cause of MLAs and defeated candidates with central leaders, and therefore a large section of them would stand by the Chief Minister. In such a scenario, the party leaders would not be able to pressurize Mr Siddaramaiah and to influence the process of expansion of the cabinet.
