BESIDES advocating that he continue in his post, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is likely to propose the creation of two more posts of deputy chief ministers when he meets Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi on Thursday.
His sympathiser, AICC general secretary (organisation) K C Venugopal, has ensured the meeting with Rahul in the new AICC office. "He (Siddaramaiah) knows that DCM D K Shivakumar could not be budged as KPCC president as long as Mallikarjuna Kharge is AICC president. Hence, in the interest of the party, he will propose the creation of more DCM posts ahead of polls to the local bodies, including ZPs/TPs," a Congress leader said.
