Bengaluru: Former CM Jagadish Shettar opts out of Bommai's new ministry


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Jul 29: In an explosive revelation, former chief minister and minister Jagadish Shettar, announced that he had functioned as a chief minister in the past and hence decided not to become a part of Bommai-led ministry.

Shettar said that he will instead indulge in strengthening the party's organizational set up. "In the past, I had worked under the leadership of Yediyurappa. In spite of being a former chief minister, I became a minister in Yediyurappa's cabinet. This is my personal decision and I have not received any instruction or message from the high command. I have already brought this to the notice of state BJP president Nalin Kumar Kateel, and the party high command," he explained.

Shettar stated that being a senior leader of the party, he had decided against joining the new ministry. He clarified that he has not set his eyes on any other post. At the same time, he said that if the party high command asks him to discharge certain duties, he will follow such an instruction.

He noted that the process of constituting the new ministry headed by Bommai has begun. He said he cannot predict when the exercise will be completed, but added that he cannot make up his mind to be a part of the new ministry. "Bommai has become the chief minister (CM). I do not want to say anything about it now. I have no interest in the posts of governor, speaker etc. There is no question of my being unhappy about the selection of Bommai as the CM. But I will be bound by the orders of the party," he clarified.

Jagadish Shettar was in the race for the chief minister's post. He had led the BJP government in state for a brief period when the BJP rose to power in Karnataka for the first time. Therefore, when Yediyurappa formed the government, many had doubted about him accepting the post of the minister. It is being claimed that his current decision is influenced by the fact that a person who is younger to him and who migrated from another party has been made the CM by the party. Shettar also belongs to Lingayat community and is an influential leader in Hubballi area.

Reacting to Shettar’s statement, Bommai said that he will hold a discussion with him and sort out if there are any issues.

    Whether opted out or dropped out, it’s good both ways. No former CMs or seniors should be given a berth in the new cabinet.

    SHETRE OF COURSE GRAPES ARE SOUR. NOBODY OFFERED YOU MINISTRY THEN QUESTION OF OPTING OUT OF BOMMAIS NEW MINISTRY DOES NOT ARISE TILL SUCH TIME. IT IS YOUR LADY LUCK YOU GOT CM POST. DON'T THINK IT IS SHAME TO WORK UNDER CM B.R.BOMMAI EVEN THOUGH HE CAME FROM JD-S OR JUNIOR TO YOU BUT HE IS IN NO WAY CONNECTED TO ANY FACTION AS SUCH AND UNQUESTIONABLE LEADER.

    It is good see all anti-BJP brigade brighten up with any news about some splits or rebellion in BJP. Don't worry, we will feed you that often, but you should realize that BJP has grown to that level where no rebellion can shake it. Even if Modi leaves the party, party will sustain.

    looks like beginning of rebellion circle. Indication of a in fight being in progress. Every second senior member wants to explore the "Kurssa Kursi ka" Let them continue. There is proverb that when two are in a fight third one will have lions share. DK shivkumar sir, work hard. some secret operation. Kamal has become outdated.

    Great move from BJP. The elders need to step down and make way for the youngsters . This is the difference between the grand OLD party and BJP. People who cannot walk are even now hanging on to the chair and not allowing others to come up. They are not leaving this posts not because of money as they have already made enough for generations but for Power or hold on the people which they get obsessed. They are scared nobody will respect or even bother about them once they get down from these positions .
