Even while making it clear that Congress assuming power in the State was more important to him than becoming Chief Minister, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D.K. Shivakumar said he had appealed to the Vokkaliga community to rally around him as a member of their community has been given a chance to head the KPCC again after former Chief Minister S.M. Krishna.
After Mr. Krishna led the KPCC during the late ‘90s, a member of the Vokkaliga community has been again given a chance to occupy the coveted post in the party, he said, while stating that he has appealed to members of his community that he had reached a particular stage in the party now and they should extend their support to him now.
However, the issue of becoming the Chief Minister from the Congress will arise only after the party comes to power and a decision in the regard is taken by the party high command, he said, while fielding queries from reporters at a Meet the Press programme organised by Mysuru District Journalists’ Association (MDJA) here on Tuesday.
