<div>Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said his government will take an appropriate decision on providing internal reservation after going through the reports of Justice A J Sadashiva commission and socio-economic census. <br /><br />After inaugurating the 109 the birth anniversary of Babu Jagjivanram at Vidhana Soudha, he said the socio-economic census (also called caste census) report will be finalised within a month. The Cabinet will go through both the Sadashiva commission and caste census reports and take an appropriate decision, he assured as a group of people in the audience interrupted his speech, demanding internal reservation.<br /><br />“We have no problem in implementing it (the Sadashiva commission report). So is the reason the government recently conducted the caste census. But I cannot take any decision on my own. The Cabinet is the right place to decide it,” he stated.<br /><br />‘I am not Obama’<br />Siddaramaiah said in a lighter vain that Social Welfare Minister H Anjaneya was among the richest ministers. <br /><br />“I have put a lot of money in his pocket. I have asked him to spend the money for the welfare of the poor,” he added. When a section of people in audience retorted that the chief minister has control over everything, Siddaramaiah, further, said: “I am not Obama. We are in a democratic set-up. The council of ministers is the supreme body, and I am only its captain.” He conferred the Babu Jagjivanram award on dalit leader M Jayanna.<br /></div>
