Amid the ongoing tension ober Bengaluru demolition row, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan shared a stage on Wednesday and shook hands.<\/p>\n

The development came during the 93rd Sivagiri Pilgrimage event, being held in Varkala, Kerala. Siddaramaiah is in Kerala to participate in the event and pay tribute to the enduring legacy of Sree Narayana Guru, the revered social reformer.<\/p>\n

This is the first time that Siddaramaiah and Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan are sharing a stage following their recent political face-off over the Kogilu illegal encroachment demolitions.<\/p>\n

According to the sources, Vijayan left the event before Siddaramaiah\u2019s address. However, before leaving, the Kerala Chief Minister went to Siddaramaiah and had a cordial chat. Reportedly, Vijayan also informed Siddaramaiah of his urgency to leave in order to attend the cabinet meeting.<\/p>\n
