Karnataka deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar has reignited speculations of a possible shift in the state leadership by asking Congress workers “to prepare for a change in the state in coming days” — remarks he made while sharing the dais with chief minister Siddaramaiah during a government event in Hassan.
The remarks come after Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah hosted each other for breakfast at their residences within a span of four days, ina bid to project a unified face amid a tussle for the top position in the state.
Speaking first at the government services dedication conclave in Hassan on Saturday, Shivakumar said: “We should prepare for a change in the state in coming days to give new strength and shape.” His remarks, albeit cryptic, further fuelled speculations of growing unease within the ruling Congress over the leadership issue.
