Why should I not become CM, asks Home Minister Parameshwara, saying Dalits should assert themselves
”The inferiority complex amongst us (Dalits) has to go — that’s the reason I openly say I will become chief minister. Why should I not? K H Muniyappa (Dalit leader and Minister) should also become, why should he not? What is the shortcoming in the ability of Muniyappa or Parameshwara or Mahadevappa (minister) or (among veteran past leaders like) Basavalingappa or N Rachaiah or Ranganath?” Parameshwara said.
