In the past six weeks, Siddaramaiah has visited Delhi twice, and will be heading to the capital again on July 25, whereas it will be Shivakumar's fifth visit. Interestingly, AICC General Secretary and Karnataka in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala visited Bengaluru four times during the same period. During their Delhi visit, the CM and DyCM held meetings with Union Ministers to discuss Karnataka's projects, and met the high command.
