"Should Be Solved Soon": Karnataka Minister To NDTV Amid Leadership Tussle

Satish Jarkiholi, Karnataka minister and Siddaramaiah loyalist, told NDTV today that he hoped that the row over the Chief Minister post - one that his boss Siddaramaiah described as "confusion" - be resolved soon. Asked for a timeline to the issue, he said, "This is not in our hands. The senior leaders, the Chief Minister, the Deputy Chief Minister , there should be some discussion". The bottomline, he made clear, is that "There should be clarity" and more importantly -- he would abide by the high command's decision if they opt for a change in leadership.
