Statement

Even without the sufficient numbers, I have become the CM

Recalling his Sabarimala visits in the past along with party leaders including Kerala Water Resources Minister Mathew T Thomas, Kumaraswamy said he believed that he got the Chief Ministership in 2006 also because of blessings of Lord Ayyappa. "With the blessings of Swamy Ayyappa, I have become the Chief Minister, I think, even without the sufficient numbers (for JD-S)," he said.
