Hassan MLA Preetham J. Gowda has said he will not lobby for a ministerial berth, but he would accept if the party offers him one.
Speaking to presspersons in Hassan on Monday, he said he would not put pressure on anybody for a berth in the Cabinet. “I have not met anybody with such a demand so far and will not approach anyone for the same. However, will work efficiently if the party seniors consider me.”
He maintained that he was in politics for a long innings, not for a 100 metre race. “I have a long career in politics and age on my side. The people of Hassan have given me a chance to work for them. I will abide whatever the decision party leaders take”, he said.
