Siddaramaiah: Metamorphosis of Janata Parivar man into Congress' CM for second time
Bengaluru, May 18 (PTI) For a man rooted in 'Janata Parivar' for two-and-half-decades and once known for strident anti-Congress stance, it has been a remarkable turn-around for Siddaramaiah, who is now all set to be sworn in as Karnataka's Chief Minister for the second time, after consolidating his position in the grand old party.
From early 1980s to 2005, Siddaramaiah, who comes from a poor farmer's family, was a die-hard anti-Congressman, but his ouster from JD(S) of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, brought him to political cross-roads, and made him join the very party he had opposed.
For his patience and persistence, the seasoned politician known for his bluntness, Siddaramaiah, realised his life-time ambition and went on to become the Chief Minister from the Congress party in 2013.
