Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday listed the opportunities and positions Congress party had bestowed on former Union Minister C.M. Ibrahim and advised him against avarice in politics.
Apart from fielding him as Congress candidate from Bhadravathi during the assembly elections of 2013 by denying the party ticket to sitting MLA B.K. Sangamesh, he was made the Deputy Chairman of the Planning Board even though he lost the assembly polls. The party later nominated him to the Legislative Council for two consecutive terms, Mr. Siddaramaiah told reporters in Maddur.
“The Congress party has helped him. If he is still not satisfied, we can’t do anything. One can be ambitious in politics, but not avaricious”, he said while claiming that Mr. Ibrahim was leaving the party because he was not appointed the Leader of the Congress in the Legislative Council.
