Bengaluru, Nov. 21: There has been a sudden development in state politics and now National Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has entered the fray. There is a tussle between the factions of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar for the next Chief Minister's post, and Kharge has entered the fray to rectify this. He arrived in Bengaluru today and has instructed DCM Shivakumar and his brother D.K. Suresh to meet him. He will also hold talks with CM Siddaramaiah after that.
After the Congress government ruled for two and a half years, the internal battle for the chief administrative helm has now been clearly exposed. As the Congress government led by Siddaramaiah completed two and a half years, there was a tussle over power sharing, and D.K. Some ministers and MLAs of the Shivakumar faction have gone to Delhi to meet the high command leaders.
Following this, the ministers of the CM Siddaramaiah faction held a secret meeting in Bengaluru, and significant political activities have been intensified in the Karnataka Congress. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah made a surprising statement on Friday after political activities in the Congress regarding the leadership change in the state.
Speaking to reporters at the Mysore airport today, the CM said that the decision of the party high command is final on the issue of leadership change and cabinet expansion. He said that I, Shivakumar and everyone will listen to what the high command says. The high command has never said about the leadership change. Siddaramaiah said that I will be the Chief Minister for five years and I will present the next budget myself. Through this, the CM has sent a strong message to the MLAs who have gone to Delhi to pressure for a change.
Shivakumar has clarified to reporters. Speaking to the media near his residence in Sadashivanagar, DKshi said that there have been many dinner parties in the last two and a half years. Four people should be made DCMs, the post of KPCC president should be changed. Many dinner meetings have been held to induct some people into the cabinet. Today's ministerial dinner is also a part of it, he said mysteriously.
I do not have any faction. I am the president of 140 MLAs. All 140 people are important to me. I do not want to take any group with me. Faction politics is not in my blood, he said. He said that some people have gone to Delhi to follow him.
Meanwhile, DKshi responded to Siddaramaiah's statement that he will be the CM for 5 years and said that CM Siddaramaiah should reshuffle the cabinet. Therefore, all the MLAs are showing interest in getting ministerial posts. Therefore, he said that he is meeting the leaders of the center and making their request.
I also wish CM Siddaramaiah all the best. I wish him all the best. In this way, I indirectly gave a thumbs up to Siddaramaiah's statement that he would continue as CM.
