Currently, the political tussle in Karnataka seems to be stopping. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said that he will remain the Chief Minister of Karnataka for the entire five years. He said this during a conversation with the media. For the past several days, it was being speculated that there may be changes at the leadership level in the Karnataka Congress. The factionalism inside the party was also intensifying. However, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. After Shivkumar, now the Chief Minister himself has put a full health on these speculation.
Siddaramaiah said that he would continue to serve Karnataka for five years. When asked if he would complete his entire term, he said, “Yes, I will remain the Chief Minister for five years. Do you have any doubt?”
BJP and JDS were claiming internal discord within the Congress and were promoting that the party could soon remove Siddaramaiah from the post of Chief Minister. Taking a sarcasm on this, Siddaramaiah said, “Are he a party high command?”
However, not only the opposition and the media, but some party leaders also made a statement on the issue that Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivkumar should be made the Chief Minister. Senior party leader Iqbal Ahmed had increased the buzz in the political corridors, saying that D.K. Shivkumar has more than 100 MLAs in favor and changes at the leadership level are now necessary.
Meanwhile, tomorrow Deputy Chief Minister D.K. A statement of Shivkumar also came out. He put a stop to all speculation and said that he does not need any MLA recommendation. He said that his job is to increase discipline in the party.
