The Congress closed ranks Friday afternoon faced with another chapter in the Siddaramaiah vs DK Shivakumar tug-of-war over the Karnataka Chief Minister post.
"None of us has questioned the authority of the Chief Minister. I have never asked. I have never agreed to a reshuffle. He has the authority, and thus he has said it. None of us has said he won't be there for five years. Once elders have said it, we juniors follow it," Shivakumar said.
