Karnataka minister G Parameshwara has made a startling revelation, stating that he had planned to stay away from politics if he was denied the chief minister post for the second time. Speaking to the media, Parameshwara expressed his disappointment at missing the opportunity to become the Chief Minister of Karnataka once again.
Missed Opportunity for CM Post
Parameshwara, a senior leader of the Indian National Congress, said, 'I missed out on the opportunity to become the Chief Minister for the second time. This was a significant setback in my political career.' He had earlier harbored hopes of leading the state, but the party chose another candidate for the top post.
Contemplating Political Future
The minister disclosed that he had seriously considered stepping away from active politics if he did not get the CM post. 'I was planning to stay away from politics if I was denied the chief minister position again. I had even discussed this with close associates,' he added. However, he did not elaborate on what changed his mind.
Parameshwara's comments come amid ongoing discussions within the Congress party about leadership and future strategies in Karnataka. The party has faced challenges in retaining power and maintaining unity among its factions. His statement reflects the internal dynamics and personal ambitions that often shape political decisions in the state.
Despite his disappointment, Parameshwara continues to serve as a minister in the Karnataka government, handling key portfolios. His revelation has sparked debates among political analysts about the pressures and expectations within the party ranks.
