Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s position has become shaky because of the internal confusions in the ruling Congress as well as the non-performance of the government over the past year, former Chief Minister and BJP Lok Sabha member (Haveri) Basavaraj Bommai said on Tuesday. Triggering instability while claiming everything was hunky dory was part of politics. This situation has now led to leaders openly expressing a desire to occupy the CM’s chair, the senior BJP leader told the media at Gadag, a major town in his Lok Sabha constituency. The jostling among the Congress leaders had given the impression that the coveted post has become unstable. «While they claim everything is fine, internally there is political backstabbing,» Bommai said, referring to how some of the heavyweights in the Congress party were removed overnight. He gave the examples of the way the late leaders, Veerendra Patil, D Devaraj Urs, R Gundu Ro and S Bangarappa were shown the door despite being formidable leaders with a large following. This kind of politics would continue, he said.
