Summary:
Avaru Hebbettu CM agbitidare (He has become a rubber stamp CM),” said an angry Horratti.The former education minister, who has been known for his outspoken attitude, said the Congress has shown its true colours and have been violating the terms of the alliance.“The Congress first offered its unconditional support. But now, be it KPSC or chief secretary post, Congress decisions are getting the thumb impression of the CM,” he said.Horratti opened a can of worms on the Chairman post race by stating that even in the Congress there is no unity.“While Siddaramaiah wanted his man, S R Patil to become the chairman, deputy chief minister G Parameshwara wanted Shetty to be the chairman. I had hoped to become the permanent Chairman of the Council for the welfare of north Karnataka, as put aptly by my colleague S R Patil, but it did not happen. When we consider the difference of politicians from coastal districts and the dry lands, one is for sure that you (MLCs from coastal) are intellectuals and we (from dry lands) are only intelligent and below par. But I did not lobby for it..
