Minister for Forest and Food and Civil Supplies Umesh Katti has said that he could become the Chief Minister in this term of the BJP government itself. “If you people (the media) pray for me, I could be the Chief Minister in this term itself,’’ he said. “However, that will be if I live. If I die, I will not be able to become the Chief Minister,” he said, in a sarcastic tone. He was speaking to journalists after the Independence Day celebrations in Bagalkot. Mr. Katti said that he was hoping to be the district in-charge Minister of Belagavi, his native district. “I believe that we can concentrate better if we are in charge of our own districts. But I was made the Bagalkot district in-charge Minister. The party has taken a stand that no one will be made in charge of his own district,’’ he said.
