I am an aspirant for Ministerial post, says Laxman Savadi

“I am not so reclusive to say that I do not want to be a minister,” said Congress MLA Laxman Savadi, who was earlier Deputy Chief Minister.

He told reporters in Athani on Friday that he was running for Minister in the next round of enlargement.

“I cannot say that I do not want to be a Minister. I am not a recluse who has given up on worldly desires. I really want to be a Minister and serve my people. However, it is the party high command that will make the final decision on such matters. The expansion of the cabinet will be decided when the high command and the Prime Minister meet,” he said.

To a question, he said there was a strong possibility of expansion of the Cabinet after the Winter Session of the State Legislative Assembly.

“I don’t think there is any progress on these issues at the moment,” he said.
