Bengaluru: Behind-the-scenes developments continue in Congress amid speculation over Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s tenure. Late on Wednesday night, Home Minister G Parameshwara, Industries Minister M B Patil, Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao and others held a closed-door meeting. It is said that they discussed political scenarios after November 20, when the Congress government completes two-and-a-half years in office.
It is also said that they discussed the possibility of a Dalit becoming the CM. Parameshwara belongs to SC. Meanwhile, Public Works Minister Satish Jarkiholi, who is a regular at such closed-door meetings, said there was no need to read too much.
“We (leaders) have been meeting for several years now. Not every meeting is to discuss politics,” he said.
