Mysuru, 7 Nov

JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy said there will be no Chief Minister change as is being speculated, because it is not easy for the Congress party to replace Siddaramaiah.

Siddaramaiah was earlier with the JD(S), the Union Minister noted. The JD(S) knows what Siddaramaiah is capable of.

"There will be no revolution in my opinion," Kumaraswamy said in response to a question. “He (Siddaramaiah) was with us earlier, others don't know what he is. As he was with us earlier, we know what he is capable of doing."

"It is not easy for Congress to remove him. What discussions have happened between them (within the Congress), we have nothing to do with it," he added.

Kumaraswamy seemingly mocked the prospect of Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar taking over as CM, saying the Irrigation Minister asks God everyday to become Chief Minister.

"It is between him and god," Kumaraswamy remarked.

There have been speculations about a Chief Minister change in the State when the Congress government reaches the halfway mark of its five-year term (20 November), being referred to by some as "November revolution".

On the Greater Mysuru plan, Kumaraswamy said both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar are competing over the Greater Mysuru and Greater Bengaluru Authority. Nothing will come out of it, he predicted.

To a question, on what the JD(S)’s role will be if there is a political revolution, Kumaraswamy said “we are not concerned with what they (Congress) will do.”
