- NT Correspondent

As the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah versus Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar battle for the CM's post in the state intensifies, more MLAs supporting the latter are dashed to New Delhi on Monday in an apparent bid to hold parleys for his elevation while Siddaramaiah reaffirmed that he will continue in the top post if the party high command decides.

Speaking to reporters in Chikkaballapur, the CM said, "We will abide by the high command decision.

If they decide I should continue (as CM), I will continue.

Ultimately, whatever the high command decides, I should accept it. Shivakumar should also accept it."
