——S. A. Hemanth———
Bengaluru, March 18: Statements from four different persons and one development needs to juxtaposed in order to analyze where Siddaramaiah is going to contest the forth coming elections.
AICC general secretary Ranjit Singh Surjewala has said that the ‘high command will decide who should contest where’.
Second, Siddaramaiah cancelled his Sunday visit to Kolar. Three, Siddaramaiah’s son Yathindra has said that he will vacate his Varuna seat if his father wishes to contest from there.
Former MLA and Kuruba leader Varthur Prakash has said that Siddaramaiah will lose from any seat which he contests.
These four developments make one analyse whether Siddaramaiah is in two minds on contesting from Kolar.
Congress sources told The Newz Peg that the high command has not given green signal for Siddaramaiah to contest from Kolar. Surjewala statement needs to be u understood from this angle.
Siddaramaiah returned from New Delhi on Saturday afternoon and upon his return he told the media that he has not received green signal from high command about contesting from Kolar.
Given the fact that the BJP is more than determined to defeat Siddaramaiah “in any seat” it is obvious that the Kuruba strongman is looking for a safe seat.
Coming days will be interesting for the keen political observers to watch the developments.
