Suspense continues over who will be the Chief Minister of Karnataka. Former CM Siddaramaiah and Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar are in the race for the Chief Minister’ post. It has been four days since the results of the Karnataka assembly elections were declared, but the Congress leadership is still undecided, and there is tension. However, it is expected that the Hastam party will take a decision today on the finalization of Chief Minister of Karnataka. Senior leaders Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar will meet Congress chief Rahul Gandhi in Delhi today. They are likely to meet Congress National President Mallikarjuna Kharge once again. It seems that Congress leadership will announce its decision on the CM of Karnataka by evening.
There are claims that Rahul Gandhi is leaning towards Siddaramaiah as the Chief Minister of Karnataka. On the other hand, it seems that DK Shivakumar is also persistent for the post of CM. The sources revealed that the Congress leadership has proposed to both of them to be the CM for two and a half years. But it seems that DK Shivakumar is averse to this.
DK Shivakumar became the trouble shooter who brought everyone together and won the party when the Congress was going through difficult times. Siddaramaiah on the other hand is very popular. Many people are of the opinion that he worked effectively as CM in the past.
