I am fit for CM post, but won't compete with BSY: Katti

“I am an eight-time MLA and senior leader in the BJP. Certainly, I am eyeing the ministership in Yediyurappa Cabinet,” he told reporters here.

Senior BJP leader and Hukkeri MLA Umesh Katti on Thursday said he would meet the party top brass and raise his demand for ministership.

“I am an eight-time MLA and senior leader in the BJP. Certainly, I am eyeing the ministership in Yediyurappa Cabinet,” he told reporters here.

“Earlier, I served as minister for 13 years. There are no corruption charges against me. Though I am eligible for the chief minister’s post, I will not compete with Yediyurappa,” he said.
