Amid Growing Dissent In Karnataka Congress, Chief Minister Claims 'No Change In CM'
Siddaramaiah or DK Shivakumar? The Congress' Karnataka unit is being pushed to choose one over the other as a power struggle plays out over the post of Chief Minister of the southern state.
For now the party seems to be in 'wait-and-watch' mode. There is no plan to replace Siddaramaiah with DK Shivakumar, or DKS as he is popularly called, the Congress said Tuesday. Sources, though, told NDTV a cabinet reshuffle and/or changes to the party's state leadership structure are being considered to convince the anti-Siddaramaiah faction - i.e., MLAs loyal to DK Shivakumar - to stand down.
But if the Congress does opt to pull that trigger, then the question becomes - who has the support, from MLAs and within the party, to win that battle?
