Cong top brass to look into Patil's remark: DyCM

Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara said on Tuesday that the party high command will look into Home Minister M B Patil’s statement that Siddaramaiah should become chief minister again.

Speaking to reporters at Ratkal village of Chincholi taluk in the district, he said everyone has the right and freedom to express their views. “There is nothing wrong in it and such statements will not have a bearing on the byelection. The Congress high command has clearly said no one should issue such statements. It will look into the remarks made by Patil,” the DyCM said.

Reacting to the remarks made by BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal that an attempt was being made to sideline Siddaramaiah in the Congress, Parameshwara said the BJP leaders were making efforts to sideline Yeddyurappa.
