Davangere: Alleging that there were attempts by some in the Congress to block the rise of Dalit leaders, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara on Sunday, February 24 claimed that he has thrice been denied the chief ministerial post, as he belonged to the community.

Speaking at a programme in Davangere, Parameshwara, a dalit said, “Basavalingappa missed the chief ministerial post and so did K H Ranganath.

My elder brother Mallikarjuna Kharge also could not become the chief minister… I missed it thrice.. Somehow after many dilemmas, they made me the deputy chief minister.”
