However, some people did not tolerate a Backward Class leader becoming CM for the second term,” he remarked.
Further, the Congress Minister said 136 MLAs of the party would stand by Siddaramaiah. “Nobody has the right to demand his resignation. BJP State president B.Y. Vijayendra has no right to demand Siddaramaiah’s resignation,” he added.
