Bengaluru. There has been speculation about the CM’s chair in Karnataka for a long time. Amidst these speculations, the latest statement of Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivkumar is indicating that he wants to become CM of Karnataka, but his pain is spilled due to the screw stuck in it. The statement made by DK Shivkumar on the issue of the chair by the Bar Association in the Karnataka capital Bengaluru, can give further strength to the ongoing speculation in the case of CM post.

In the Bar Association program, DK Shivkumar said that we are all fighting for the chair. Many chairs are empty here. Come and sit down. DK Shivkumar further said that it is very difficult to get the chair. When found, one should sit down. The latest statement of DK Shivkumar can also be considered an important sign for CM Siddaramaiah of Karnataka. The reason for this is that Siddaramaiah has clearly stated in the interaction with the media that the Congress is a decision of the high command and he is going to be the CM of Karnataka for the whole five years. Siddaramaiah also misunderstood the discussions that a formula of two and a half years was fixed for the post of CM of Karnataka.
Earlier on Friday, in some media reports, it was also claimed that Siddaramaiah and DK Shivkumar have been asked by the Congress High Command that they should not say anything about the post of CM till Bihar elections. Siddaramaiah and DK Shivkumar have already said that they will obey the order of the high command. Please tell that when the Congress won the assembly elections in Karnataka, DK Shivkumar’s MP brother DK Suresh had said that his brother should be made CM. Recently, a Karnataka Congress MLA claimed that 100 party MLAs were with DK Shivkumar. At the same time, a religious leader had said that DK Shivkumar should get a big post from the present. After that these speculations gained momentum that Shivkumar can become the CM of Karnataka by removing Siddaramaiah. Both leaders also came to Delhi, but did not say anything about it.
