There have been rumours in some quarters that Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai is likely to be replaced.
Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in an emotional address to the people of his constituency Shiggaon in this district said nothing is permanent in this world including posts and positions, fuelling speculation in some quarters about his possible exit.
"Nothing is eternal in this world. This life itself is not forever. We don't know how long we will be here in such a situation, these posts and positions are also not forever. I am aware of this fact every moment," he said.
In an expression of gratitude to the people of his constituency, Mr Bommai said he is only 'Basavaraj' for them and not the Chief Minister.
The Chief Minister was addressing people after inaugurating the statue of Kittur Rani Chennamma, the 19th Century queen of Kittur in Belagavi district, who fought against the British.
