WITH the Congress high command not in the mood to make any changes both in the party and the government until Chief Minister Siddaramaiah completes two-and-a-half years of his tenure in the top post in October, there seems to be a feeling of uneasiness among his coterie.

Cooperation Minister KN Rajanna, who wants Siddaramaiah to continue as the CM, on Thursday said, 'There will be a "revolution" in Karnataka's political sphere in September; let's wait and watch.'

After making the statement, he visited Siddaramaiah.

Political analysts interpret Rajanna's statement as a strong message to the high command against any move to unseat Siddaramaiah.

Meanwhile, DCM DK Shivakumar said, "Rajanna is a senior leader, I don't know about the revolution."
