Minister for Small Scale Industries and Public Enterprises Sharanabasappa Darshanapur has sought to know what is wrong in a Dalit becoming the chief minister.
Speaking to presspersons in Hubballi on Monday, Mr. Darshanapur, however, said that at present the chief minister’s post is not vacant. But the Congress has always taken steps to empower Dalits and minorities, he said.
“Everyone wants to be a chief minister. Leaders of Lingayat, Vokkaliga and other communities want the post for their community and there is nothing wrong in it. The party high command will decide whom to make the chief minister,” he said.
