BENGALURU: Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara, one of the senior-most leaders of the Congress party, stated on Wednesday that if AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge decides to enter state politics, he is most welcome.
Speaking to the media in Bengaluru, Parameshwara said in response to a question, “Any decision taken by the high command, particularly if Khargeji wants to come to Karnataka, will be respected. He is our senior leader, and if he wants to come to Karnataka, he is most welcome.”
On the question of a possible change in the Chief Minister, he added, “I am not competent to answer that question. It entirely depends on the decision of the high command. Whether there will be a change, and if so, who will be the probable candidate, I am not in a position to answer.”
