Siddaramaiah asked to step down as CM by Congress high command, say sources
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been asked by the Congress high command to step down and been offered a national role and a Rajya Sabha seat, according to sources.
Congress leader KC Venugopal called the talks about any leadership change in Karnataka "mere speculation" and asserted that the day-long discussions between the central and state top brass were solely focused on the upcoming elections to the Rajya Sabha and the state's Legislative Council.
Flanked by Siddaramaiah, DK Shivakumar and other Congress leaders, KC Venugopal said, "Today, the entire discussion was only concentrated on the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections and (Legislative) Council elections of Karnataka. Whatever speculation you people are doing, that is only speculation, no reality at all. Today we discussed about the Rajya Sabha seats and the Council seats of Karnataka." Meanwhile, Congress sources claimed that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been asked by the party high command to resign and shift to Delhi through the Rajya Sabha. So, will Siddaramaiah continue as CM or will DK Shivakumar take over? Watch the show to find all the latest developments on this and what experts have to say on the Karnataka leadership crisis.
