“The demand to create additional Deputy Chief Minister posts is not aimed at annoying our leaders like Chief Minister Siddaramaiah or Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. They are our senior leaders and they are functioning well,” Public Works Minister Satish Jarkiholi said in Bagalkot on Wednesday.
He said that he is in favour of creating additional Deputy Chief Minister posts and the move should not be seen as political but for administrative purposes.
He said that though he is not an aspirant for the post of Deputy Chief Minister, he will accept the post if it is offered to him.
