Bellari: In an embarrassing move for the BJP, Karnataka Minister B Sriramulu on Tuesday said he wants to see Congress leader Siddaramaiah become the state’s Chief Minister again.

The BJP leader was speaking at the inauguration of Kuruba Sangh’s commercial store and student hostel in Bellari.
Speaking about the Congress stalwart, Sriramulu said, “We criticise each other only for political reasons, and there’s nothing personal here. I’m sure Siddaramaiah, too, wants to see me become CM one day. Political strategies have to be made within the larger political system. One day Siddaramaiah and I will be on the same stage.” Also Read Minister willing to resign over ‘no govt running in Karnataka’ remark “Siddaramaiah and I are making effort to unite the backward castes,” he added.
According to him, backward communities can revolutionize the state and the country if they unite.
