High command will decide: DK Shivakumar

This comment of Siddaramaiah government minister MB Patil dismissed speculations that Deputy Chief Minister Shivkumar would take over as Chief Minister after two and a half years or after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. MB Patil had said on Monday evening that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah would complete his five-year term. Angered by the minister’s statement, Karnataka Pradesh Congress President DK Shivakumar only said that the high command would look into it, while his brother DK Suresh, MP from Bengaluru Rural, said he could give a scathing reply to MB Patil’s statement, but he would not do. ,
