Bengaluru: Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar today said that only people have the power to decide his political future.
Speaking to reporters after participating in the International Yoga Day at Vidhana Soudha, he said, “People are my strength and only they can decide my political future. I belong to Ramanagar district and I am indebted to them. I have asked the people to give me their support and they will decide.” He was responding to C P Yogeshwar’s comments that contesting in Channapatna will end his political career.
Asked about Suresh Kumar’s statement that he was wasting national wealth, he said, “Why will by-elections be held in Kanakapura if by-elections are held in Channapatna? I have a responsibility as the President of the KPCC. I will fight the election together with Siddaramaiah.”
Yoga is our national asset
“Yoga has a history of five thousand years. The whole world has embraced yoga. Yoga cuts across all religions. The government is organising a 10-day Yoga programme for the benefit of people. I urge people to adopt Yoga in a big way,” he said.
