Bangalore: Will retire from politics after bringing party to power again: Siddu


Daijiworld Media Network – Bangalore (SP)

Bangalore, Jun 30: "I will retire from active politics after ensuring that Congress rises to power in the state again," announced Karnataka chief minister, Siddaramaiah.

His announcement came at the two-day meeting of party workers which concluded at Palace Grounds on Sunday June 29, in the presence of various Congress leaders including Digvijay Singh who is in charge of Congress affairs in Karnataka state.

Siddaramaiah noted that the government led by him has been providing efficient administration in the state. He expressed the confidence of leading the party back to power in the state in the next general election.

"I am not sure whether I will continue to be the chief minister of the state during the entire tenure of the present government. But I am doubly sure about the fact that Congress will be in power for the full term," he added.

Siddaramaiah said appointments to the posts of presidents, vice presidents, and members to various boards and corporations in the state could not be made during the last one year because of successive problems. He promised to fill these posts during August this year.

While introspecting on the party's performance in the recent Lok Sabha election, he analyzed that the party could not repeat its performance of winning 122 assembly seats in the assembly election because of anti-party activity in some constituencies. He asked Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president, Parameshwar, to identify party leaders who indulged in anti party activities and caused the defeat of party candidates in key Lok Sabha constituencies like Belgaum, Haveri, Koppal, and Mandya.

He also felt that it would be wrong to blame All India Congress Committee president, Sonia Gandhi, and party national vice president, Rahul Gandhi, for the party's debacle. He insisted that the responsibility of working to bring the party back to power now rests on the shoulders of every leader and worker of the party.

    I am not saying that CM has done miracles in our State within one year. However, progress is there but he does not get any publicity for his good deeds. Media is totally against him. He has to do a lot and in order to bring Congress to power in the next election. Disunity is the biggest problem Congress is facing and unless there is unity victory will be difficult. People who are praising Modi should visit whole all of Gujrath and give a straight forward opinion. I have visited whole of Gujrath and in my opinion Karnataka state is better in many fields. Unfortunately the media is biased. Media has always shown the positive side of Gujrath but in many fronts Gujrath is more under-developed than Karnataka.

    Let me highlight :

    "Infosys' plan to create 50,000 jobs over a decade in Karnataka hit roadblock"

    "Mangalore has huge potential, but clients visiting the centre get depressed seeing the condition of the road leading to our offices," said Ramadas Kamath, utive vice president of Infosys.

    "The IT park developed by the government by sinking hundreds of crore of rupees adjacent to our campus has no takers." Infosys has invested Rs 700 crore in the coastal city and created infrastructure for 6,000 employees on 1.4 million square feet

    It means he will continue in Politics for next 10 to 15 years for sure and one more thing he realized within a year that, Congress will not retain Karnataka in next Assembly election. Funny part is famous Land Acquisition Law presented by Sonia and passed by UPA-II Government now opposed by same Congress Party in Karnataka too

    I feel congress hi-command should replace Siddramayya from CM chair. If congress has to survive they need to go on MERITOCRACY, not on seniority or cast politics.

    Make Krishna Byregowda, Dinesh Gundurao or UT Khader as CM and hive FREE HAND to them.

    He has done nothing in last 1 year except Anna Bhagya, Shaadi Bhagya, OBC Pravasa Bhagya and Ksheera Bhagya.

    There is no road, infrastructure development, youth empowerment, employment generation, farmer upliftment, agri development etc. He is simply pushing the days with frequent trips to Mysore with his migrated clan. Except 3 or 4, no ministers are obeying his orders.

    Sidduji...
    In the 60's, 70's, and early 80's almost all Hindi Films were a 'Hit'.
    Congress Party was also a 'Hit', irrespective of local and regional leaders.
    TIMES have changed after the 80's. In the sense if you do not perform
    you will be 'HIT'. Got my point?
    performance is the main criteria.
    Cinema of yesteryears was the sole
    entertainment provider. there was no other venue.However, now people have multiple choices and so also parties to choose 'able candidates' from. Perform or perish and yes leave the choice to the people. They know whom to elect and when....O.K?
