Bengaluru: The saga of dissatisfaction continues even after the curtains drawn on the cabinet expansion. This time it is Chikkaballapur constituency MLA Dr. K Sudhakar, who has poured out his predicament for not giving importance to the Vokkaliga community.
In his interaction with the media in the city, he said that it is not that he is an aspirant of any cabinet ranking, but there was no third Vokkaliga leader except Krishna Byregowda and D K Shivakumar who are given ministry. He said Krishnappa and S T Somashekhar too were in the fray.
Dr. Sudhakar said that there were more number of MLAs in the Congress party when compared to the Janata Dal (S), which had more number of ministers from the Vokkaliga community.
This matter would be discussed with the Congress party high command, he said.
He has also conveyed his displeasure on dropping Ramesh Jarkiholi from the cabinet within six months of the coalition government formation and also neglecting R Shankar and Nagesh who were independent candidates supporting the coalition.
Sudhakar has also opined that this cabinet expansion is not balanced.
Meanwhile, he has condemned the act of the Bharatiya Janata Party State President B S Yeddyurappa for influencing some of the dropped candidates to turn towards the BJP.
He has made very clear that he would not go with the BJP even though he was not happy with the cabinet expansion.
