I never said time has come for me to be the CM; my statement twisted: DCM

I know my goal and there is no need for me to make such a statement

Will be forced to file defamation, if statement is twisted

Bengaluru Express
Bengaluru, Oct 11: Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar today categorically denied saying that the time for him to be CM had come and said that his statement had been twisted.

“Some media houses are twisting my statement and are trying to create a controversy. I have never said that it is time for me to become the CM. I will file a defamation case if anyone twists my statement and broadcasts it,” he said, speaking to reporters after an interaction with the public at Lal Bagh as part of ‘Bengaluru Nadige’

“During the public interaction at Lal Bagh, some people said that I must become the CM. But the media has twisted it and is reporting it as my statement. Don’t twist the news and create a controversy,” he said.

“I am not in a hurry to occupy the CM’s chair. I am in politics to serve the people and not to do politics. I am working day in and day out to serve the people. If you are going to twist the news like this, I will not co-operate with you. I won’t invite you for the press conferences and other programmes,” he added.

“Where have I made such a statement? Let the media not do politics. I have not made any such statement nor there is any need for me to make such a statement. I know my goal. God will give the opportunity when the time is ripe. I am currently focussed on serving the people of Bengaluru and Karnataka. But the media is trying to create controversy. I will file a defamation case if the media twists it,” he added.
