: Rebuking senior MLA RoshanBaig for his outburst against the party leadership, includinghim, Congress Legislature Party leader and former ChiefMinister Siddaramaiah Wednesday said his act was out of "thirst for power".
"Roshan Baig I don't know...maybe because he did not become Minister and as he was not given ticket for MP (Lok Saba election- he has spoken like that)," Siddaramaiah said.
Speaking to reporters in Mysuru, he said, "Because of his thirst for power, such things happen, nothing can be done. The party will take care of it."
He had also called Venugopal, who is AICC General Secretary in-charge of Karnataka, a "buffoon."
