Congress MLC and son of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Yathindra Siddaramaiah, on Thursday backed his father for the CM post, saying that he is not aware of any "power sharing agreement" between Siddaramaiah and state Deputy CM DK Shivakumar.
Speaking with ANI, Kharge stated that the party's high command will decide on the Karnataka Chief Minister post, saying, "Will give medicine when required", implying the issue will be addressed at the right time.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday said the party high command, which includes him, Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Rajya Sabha MP Sonia Gandhi, will "deliberate" and "resolve" the speculations around the Chief Ministerial post.
Amid the speculation about a change in the state's leadership, Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge on Saturday said there is no discussion on this within the party, and the Congress high command would make any such decision.
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Friday said that the answer, that Siddaramaiah will remain CM, has been given and "it is not good to speak again and again"
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah again dismissed speculation about a change in the state's leadership, asserting that there has been no discussion with the Congress high command about the change.
