No disquiet among MLAs over ministerial berths:Siddaramaiah

Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today maintained there was no discontent within Congress now over denial of ministerial berths and expressed confidence that no party MLA would join hands with the BJP.

Confident about the Congress-JD(S) coalition government completing its full five year term, Siddaramaiah, who is also leader of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP), said, "There is no one who is dissatisfied... everyone is satisfied now."
Pointing out he has had talks with everyone who were reportedly unhappy over not becoming a minister, including M B Patil, he said "how much ever BJP tries to entice our MLAs, no one will go."
To a question on Kumaraswamy's comments about rampant corruption in the system, Siddaramaiah said: "I don't know where he has seen (corruption), if he has seen let him stop.... When he has come to know where corruption is, let him stop."
Not wishing to react on Kumaraswamy's statement that he was made Chief Minister on Congress' insistence, he said "I haven't spoken to him, so I cannot react."
