Stoutly denying that he is in the race for Chief Minister’s post of Telangana State, Union Minister Sarve Satyanarayana on Thursday said some leaders were resorting to misinformation campaign against him.
Sarve told media that he was not aspiring for the top post as he was more inclined to become Union Cabinet Minister by winning Malkajgiri MP seat for third time.
“As the youth is looking at AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi to be next Prime Minister, I want to be in his cabinet. I prefer to become a cabinet minister of Rahul Gandhi government at the Centre after 2014 general elections, rather than becoming Chief Minister of a small State like Telangana, which has only 10 districts”, he maintained.
He said he would politely reject an offer by AICC Chief Sonia Gandhi to take up the CM post if offered to him.
“Some vested interests in the State are trying to malign my image. Even the Delhi bosses may offer the mantle, which instead should be given to more efficient and a senior leader”, Satyanaryana said.
