Eight times MLA and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) senior leader Umesh Katti on Monday said in Belagavi that he does not want to become a minister in the present government, instead, he wants to become the Chief Minister of Karnataka from North Karnataka region."I have no desire to become a minister. I have been elected to the Karnataka assembly eight times. I am capable to hold the helm of affairs of the state," said Katti. Former minister Hukkari MLA Umesh Katti has expressed his desire to become the chief minister again after he wasn't included in the cabinet of Yediyurappa even after several attempts.
