Home Minister G. Parameshwara expects Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to serve the full term, dismissing leadership confusion within the party.
Home Minister G. Parameshwara said he expects Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to continue in the post for the remainder of the Legislative Assembly’s term.
Fielding queries from reporters in Mysuru on Monday (April 6), Mr. Parameshwara pointed out that the party high command did not specify that Mr. Siddaramaiah would be the Chief Minister for the full term when he was chosen for the post in 2013, but he continued as Chief Minister till 2018.
The high command had chosen him as Chief Minister in 2023. “So, will he not have to remain in the post till the term ends in 2028?” Mr. Parameshwara asked before adding that if he has to be replaced, a decision in that regard will have to be taken only by the party high command.
He said there is no need for the party high command to specifically state that Mr. Siddaramaiah is the Chief Minister for the full five-year term, and dismissed charges that the high command is responsible for the prevailing “confusion” over the leadership issue.
He pointed out that the high command had never spoken about the leadership issue.
In the present political situation in the State, Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue as the Chief Minister, Mr. Parameshwara said.
