DK Shivakumar Loyalist Claims M Kharge's "Assurance" In Chief Minister Row
The Congress' Karnataka troubles ramped up a notch Friday after Ramanagara MLA Iqbal Hussain - who has publicly backed DK Shivakumar to replace Siddaramaiah as Chief Minister - claimed an "assurance" from party boss Mallikarjun Kharge that "everything will be fine".
Hussain told NDTV's Reethu Rajpurohit on the phone that Kharge had sought the opinion of lawmakers backing DKS and told them he will consult the party's core leadership on this issue.
