After Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his Deputy DK Shivakumar reaffirmed the Congress party's cohesion and unity on Saturday, Shivaganga Basavaraj, a close aide of Shivakumar, made it clear that the Congress party's high command will decide the next Chief Minister of Karnataka.
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.
