a
Although there was a claim of putting an end to the speculations of change of leadership in Karnataka yesterday, but whatever is going on, it is clear that all is not well in the Congress. Congress leader R.V. Deshpande had said only yesterday that there has been no proposal or discussion about changing the CM. But the recent statement given by Congress MLA Iqbal Hussain makes it clear that everything is not as it is being told from the top in the Karnataka Congress.
More than 100 MLAs in favor of DK Shivakumar
Iqbal Hussain said that not only me, more than 100 MLAs are in favor of change. Many of them have been waiting for this moment. They want good governance and believe that DK Shivakumar should get a chance. He has worked tirelessly for the party and has played an important role in strengthening the organization. Everyone has seen the change in the fortunes of the party since he became the KPCC president. Due to his efforts, more and more people are expressing their support for him and are ready to stand with him.
Siddaramaiah has dismissed reports of discord
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday dismissed reports of discord in the ruling Congress in the state. Siddaramaiah asked people to ignore Cooperation Minister K N Rajanna’s statement that there are many centers of power in the ruling Congress in the state. Rajanna had said on Thursday that political developments in Karnataka will change after September. The minister’s statement was considered an indication of a possible leadership change in Karnataka. However, today it came to an end.
So what can be done…
Siddaramaiah had earlier said where is the internal discord within the Congress party. Rajanna has just said that political developments are developing, he did not say that such things will happen. The Chief Minister told reporters, “What can be done if you write speculative news. It is better to ignore it.” He did not react to Rajanna’s statement that there are multiple centres of power in the Congress in Karnataka. Rajanna had said, “There was only one centre of power in Karnataka during 2013-18, now there are multiple centres – one, two, three.”
