Congress boss Mallikarjun Kharge confirmed an open secret – the Karnataka leadership crisis – on Wednesday, and insisted the tug-of-war between the party's senior-most leaders in the state, Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar, or DKS, over the chief minister's post will be resolved, soon.
"Sonia (Gandhi), Rahul (Gandhi), and I will fix it…" the party President said this afternoon, shortly after sources told NDTV a solution will be found by December 1, when Parliament's Winter session starts.
Sources also said a Kharge-Rahul Gandhi meeting will likely be scheduled in the next 48 hours, after which Siddaramaiah and DKS will be summoned to Delhi, possibly on Friday.
