Kumaraswamy, who holds a BSc degree, was asked about JD(S) minister G T
"Is there a better department than Higher Education and Minor Irrigation to work?"
Earlier, the chief minister had drawn flak for saying he was at the "mercy" of the Congress and not the people. Kumaraswamy later said he never meant to show disrespect to the people of the state."What I meant was so long as they (Congress) support me I can continue. So, whatever programmes we have to pursue, I will be at the mercy of Congress."
