Not easy for Cong to replace Siddaramaiah: Kumaraswamy

Mysuru, Nov 7 (UNI) union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel HD Kumaraswamy has ruled out any chances of a "November Revolution" or change of leadership within the ruling Congress government in Karnataka, saying it is not easy for the party to replace Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
Speaking to media on Friday, Kumaraswamy, who heads the JD(S), said he knows Siddaramaiah's nature very well, as the latter was once part of the JD(S). "So, nothing is going to change," he remarked, downplaying speculation over internal power tussles in the Congress.
Commenting on Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar's political ambitions, Kumaraswamy said, "He always says he speaks with God. How would we know what God tells him? It's a matter between him and God."
