"Since yesterday I'm hounded by the press on the issue of Dalit Chief Minister in Karnataka. I'm very surprised that the media has made it a big issue," Singh told reporters here.
"I believe that most of the organisations which are demanding, they have got different political affiliations, and therefore I think there is no possibility of changing the Chief Minister at the moment," he said.
Few Ministers and MLAs in the Congress party, as well as some Dalit leaders claiming themselves to be the voice of the community have been making public statements demanding for appointment of a Dalit Chief Minister.
"After the Congress party got the mandate, there was the meeting of the legislature party and Sidddaramaiah was unanimously elected as the leader of the Congress legislature party. Therefore there is no question of any change," he said.
Listing out Dalit leaders in the party including Leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, Singh said "There is no demand or resentment as such against the incumbent Chief Minister who is doing a good job. There are no complaints of corruption against him and he is carrying all sections of society with him.
