‘Shivakumar deliberately made KPCC chief to see that the party collapsed under his leadership’
Terming the Congress as a sinking ship, Minister for Co-Operation S.T. Somashekhar said that the former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah would make a few more holes in it to ensure that the ship sank quickly. Addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi on Sunday, he said that party leaders deliberately made D.K. Shivakumar the chief of Congress unit in the State to ensure that the party collapsed under his leadership. “Mr. Siddaramaiah has said that the BJP under B.S. Yediyurappa was a sinking ship. The fact, however, is that the Congress is sinking ship for which Mr. Shivakumar was deliberately made the captain. Mr. Siddaramaiah is longing to making a few more holes in the bottom of that ship to ensure that it sank quickly. We don’t do anything to damage the Congress. There are many in their party to do that job,” he said.
