While addressing the media in Gadag, former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that state Congress leaders will soon discuss the cabinet expansion plan with the senior leaders and higher authorities of the party. Only when the big wigs give the green signal, new ministers will be appointed in the cabinet.
When questioned whether he was involved in fixing the mining boron Janardhana Reddy in the scandals to spoil Reddy’s image, Siddaramaiah questioned “why should I spoil his image, who is Reddy?” ex-CM Siddaramaiah said “why should I spoil his image, who is Reddy?”
He further added that the Jamakhandi and Ballari by-election results have revealed that people are fed up with the BJP and have rejected BJP.
