Nanjangud: Declaring that PWD Minister Dr. H.C. Mahadevappa is in the race for the Chief Minister’s post, CM Siddharamaiah asserted that the Congress would retain power in the forth coming Assembly polls.
Addressing the gathering at the launch of a slew of projects and developmental works in Nanjangud and Varuna Assembly segments at a programme jointly organised by the District Administration and ZP at Vidyavardhaka College Grounds in the Temple Town yesterday, Siddharamaiah said that there were persistent demands for a dalit Chief Minister even since the Congress came to power. But the cries have become feeble with Assembly polls round the corner, he said while reiterating that the PWD Minister, a dalit, was very much in the race for the CM’s post.
