MYSURU: Former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday said that the fight for the state's leadership is actually between a ‘rebellious’ and ‘compromised’ Siddaramaiah.
“If he is the earlier rebellious Siddaramaiah, he will not give up power under any circumstances. But if he is a compromising Siddaramaiah, he will yield. Siddaramaiah’s situation should not have come to this, where he beats his chest saying that he will remain Chief Minister for five years, ” said the former chief minister while commenting on the leadership change in the state.
He claimed that people will know this month to what extent Siddaramaiah has retained his firmness.
“Siddaramaiah, we have known, has always been rebellious. His politics have always been tough and uncompromising. Now we will know whether that core nature has changed because of his desire to continue in power, ” he said.
He also claimed that since the day Siddaramaiah came to power, the Congress house developed cracks.
