The Congress party’s high command on Friday stepped in to end infighting in the Karnataka unit, asking both Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy DK Shivakumar to meet in a bid to resolve the crisis.
After the high command’s nudge, Siddaramaiah invited Shivakumar for a meeting over breakfast on Saturday.
“The high command had called Shivakumar. They had called me as well. They told both of us to meet and talk. So I invited him for breakfast. When he comes there, we will both discuss everything,” the Chief Minister said.
Siddaramaiah reiterated that there was no change in his stand and he will follow the orders of the Congress high command. “I am saying the same now, and I will say the same tomorrow as well. He (DKS) too has said many times that he will follow what the high command says.
I have also said many times that I will follow what the high command says. We will discuss all this there,” he added.
The Chief Minister further said he would go to Delhi if the high command called him.
After the 2023 Assembly elections, the two leaders were reportedly said to have agreed to share the five-year term, with each serving for two and a half years. However, the Congress party has never officially confirmed such an arrangement.
However, Siddaramaiah has completed the halfway mark without stepping aside, prompting Shivakumar and his supporters to repeatedly call for the accord to be honoured.
