The Congress high command, aiming to transform the party into a cadre-based entity, reportedly cautioned both Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy DK Shivakumar to not cross the line and to focus on administration to control the damage to both the party and the government.

The warning is significant considering that the AICC session is slated to be held in Ahmedabad on April 8 and 9.

To Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, who were visiting Delhi, the high command gave a talking-to on the alleged honey trap attempt on CM's close aide and Cooperation Minister K N Rajanna, highly placed sources said. The high command felt that Siddaramaiah did not handle the issue properly, which damaged the party and government, they added.
