Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar today said he was happy about AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge's assurance to Satish Jarkiholi on resolving the leadership issue in Karnataka.
Addressing a press conference on Friday, Jarkiholi said, "It was there yesterday, it is there today, and it will be there tomorrow. It's difficult to figure out at what level it's happening. Someone is on one side, someone is on the other... It's there today, and it will be there tomorrow
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Friday responded to BJP leader Vijayendra's accusation, calling him the "father of corruption," saying the claims need proof and that time will answer the questions raised.
Speaking to reporters at Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB)'s new office building, he said, "It is true that Satish Jarkiholi and I met at a wedding last evening. We discussed the state and the party. We are colleagues. Why do you paint us as enemies?"
When asked about the repeated meetings of Congress leaders from the Dalit community, including him, and Karnataka Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Satish Jarkiholi, Parameshwara said, "Dalits have been asking for the CM post for a long time."
fter the Congress suffered a massive defeat in the Bihar assembly elections, which saw it pushed down to a single digit, Karnataka Minister Satish Jarkiholi stated that the Congress will analyse the results of the Bihar assembly election and begin planning for the next elections.
The debate over the post of Chief Minister was again ignited by MLC Yathindra Siddaramaiah, son of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who indicated Public Works Minister Satish Jarkiholi as Siddaramaiah's successor.
Karnataka MLC and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's son, Yathindra Siddaramaiah, has made a statement once again regarding Satish Jarikholi potentially succeeding his father, which hints at a possible change in leadership in the Congress government in the state.
Speaking to mediapersons, Basavaraj has slammed Yathindra's statement, calling it "childish" and emphasising that the party's high command will decide on leadership, not individual family members.
