Bengaluru: While half-a-dozen names are doing the rounds as an alternative to Siddaramaiah and Dinesh Gundurao, who stepped down from the posts of Congress Legislature Party leader and KPCC president respectively on Monday, December 9. Former MP Muniyappa on Wednesday said that if the Congress high command gives him a top post of the party he is ready to accept it.
Addressing persons here Muniyappa said, “Siddaramaiah and Dinesh have done a good job by resigning to their post, taking moral responsibility for the party’s poor show in the Karnataka assembly bypolls. It is a good development, but one or two people cannot be blamed for the party’s defeat.”
“However, both will continue in the posts until their resignations are accepted by AICC president Sonia Gandhi. If at all Congress high command gives any one of the posts, I will happily accept it and will work towards the development of the party,” he added.
Siddaramaih and Dinesh had resigned owning moral responsibility for the party’s drubbing in the bypolls. It won only two of 15 seats where elections were held.
