Karnataka News | 'No Speculation': Congress Clears Air After Six-Hour Karnataka Meeting

A marathon six-hour meeting with the top leadership of Karnataka was about the state's three vacant Rajya Sabha seats, the Congress said today. A one-minute statement to the media -- waiting for a resolution to the contentious issue of Chief Ministership -- after the meeting also contained a piece of advice: "No speculation". "Only speculation, no discussions other than on upcoming Rajya Sabha polls," the party said. The meeting, party general secretary KC Venugopal told reporters, was attended by party chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi. "Discussions were held regarding the Rajya Sabha and MLC elections. There is no truth to any other speculation," he said. Siddaramaiah said the agenda of a cabinet expansion did not come up for discussion either.
