Modi and me are poles apart: Karnataka CM
22 Aug 2013 5:05 AM IST
Dismissing the controversial statement of a key cabinet colleague comparing him with Narendra Modi, chief minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday maintained that he and the Gujarat chief minister are poles apart.
‘Modi can never be a social face. He is communal, I am socialist. We are like north pole and south pole. This comparison is something that I can’t even think of in my dream and mind,’ the CM said a day after housing minister MH Ambareesh said Siddaramaiah is like Modi to the Congress.
Ambarish, in charge of district of Mandya where Lok Sabha bypoll will be held on Wednesday, said in KR Nagar that a day will come when Siddaramaiah will be made to tour the entire country. ‘I have a mole on my tongue. Hence, whatever I say will come true,’ he said.
Siddaramaiah, who will complete 100 days in office on Wednesday, said even if Ambarish made the statement with good intention, the comparison between him and Modi is irrelevant.
