Mysuru,Oct 24, 2016, DHNS:  Chief Minister Siddaramaiah hit back at deputy chairman of the State Planing Commission C M Ibrahim on Saturday, over his recent comments about him.

“It is not possible to fulfil the demands of all unsatisfied people. Some people always remain unsatisfied,” Siddaramaiah told reporters here.

Ibrahim had said that the chief minister had failed to meet the expectations of the people, commenting about the functioning of the Congress-led state government and Siddaramaiah, in Mysuru a couple of days ago.

“Siddaramaiah has lost control over the administration. He has neither met the expectations of the people nor our dreams. Siddaramaiah himself knows this. I have also raised the issue with him. But he gives some excuses,” he had said.

“I have sought a report on the functioning of the Siddaramaiah government in the last three years. Officials have changed, they do not have commitment. Siddaramaiah has compromised with the system,” Ibrahim had said. The statements of Ibrahim, who had joined Congress at the behest of Siddaramaiah, have caused embarrassment to the chief minister.

Ibrahim had also said that it was high time that all Janata Parivar leaders, who have joined either the Congress or the BJP, return to the Parivar in the interest of the people of the state. Both the national parties had deceived the people in the Mahadayi river water sharing issue, he had said.

Ibrahim had predicted that like-minded people in all parties, Congress, BJP and JD(S), would come together soon.

Ibrahim had also hailed the style of functioning of former prime minister H D Deve Gowda. “Nobody can match Deve Gowda,” he had said.
