Siddaramaiah will not be the Chief Minister even if Congress is voted to power, Union Minister Prahald Joshi said in Dharwad on Sunday.
Addressing an OBC voters’ rally at Sannidhi hall on JSS campus, he said that Congress would utilise Mr. Siddaramaiah for getting votes and then snub him, to make someone else the CM, he said.
He alleged that some poll surveys were predicting a favourable trend towards the Congress, as the agencies that conducted them, were paid by the party. Going by the trends predicted by the surveys, Congress leaders are under the false impression that they will come to power. That is far from truth, he said.
