After S.M Krishna resigned as the governer of Maharashtra and decided to make a comeback to karnataka state politics,it seems that the congress leaders seem to be more worried on his return rather than the opposition parties. As elections are round the corner,a Congress victory in the forthcoming Karnataka assembly elections is a matter of concern as there have been many contenders for the Chief Ministers post. Krishna who was the chief minister of karnataka through 1999-2004 would like to roll the dice once again. "He wanted to quit Maharashtra and return to active politics. But some Karnataka Congress leaders suggested that he be given a cabinet berth in the union government or even an ambassadorship to keep him away from the state," a Congress general secretary said. Though Congress leader and former chief minister Dharam Singh welcomed Krishna's re-entry, his statement - "His ( Krishna's) return will strengthen the party in the state" - is seen as only for form.
