THE power game over chief minister's post, seemingly, has started in the state as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, also KPCC president, have begun taking positions.
Close on the heels of Shivakumar meeting the AICC general secretary (organisation), KC Venugopal, and Karnataka in-charge, Randeep Singh Surjewala, on Tuesday late night Siddaramaiah, here on Thursday, met Congress Working Committee permanent invitee and MLC, BK Hariprasad.
