Minister for Cooperation S.T. Somashekar has firmly ruled out the possibility of the BJP replacing Basavaraj Bommai as the Chief Minister.
Fielding reporters queries on the issue, Mr. Somashekar blamed the Congress for unnecessarily creating a false propaganda about the change of leadership in the State. “As a responsible person and Minister for Co-operation, who is part of the government, I am telling you that Mr. Bommai will not be changed. It is a lie spread by the Congress party”, he said.
Mr. Bommai has given a pro-people government for the last one year. His helmsmanship was been appreciated by not only Home Minister Amit Shah during his recent visit to Bengaluru, but also Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his last visit to Bengaluru and Mysuru, he said.
