Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has doubled down in the power struggle with his deputy, DK Shivakumar, claiming the full support of the Congress’ top leaders, including the Gandhi family.
Siddaramaiah told NDTV he could not continue in his post without the party’s backing. The veteran politician made it clear he intends to see through the five-year term that began in 2023.
"The question of leadership is not with the high command. Shivakumar’s challenge has been resolved. I am getting the full support of the Congress high command… wouldn’t have continued if they had not supported me," the Chief Minister told NDTV Friday in Delhi. But last evening’s meeting with Randeep Surjewala, the Congress troubleshooter’s visit to Bengaluru last week to broker another truce, suggests all is still not well in the state.
Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar are both in the city, ostensibly to discuss party appointments and invite Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for a state event.
