Siddu Vs DKS for CM: Rahul Gandhi meets Kharge

May 16, 2023

D.K. Shivakumar lands in Delhi alone on High Command’s call; Siddharamaiah camping at a hotel with his loyalist MLAs; Sonia Gandhi expected to take final decision later today

Bengaluru/New Delhi: As the dilemma over the next Chief Minister of Karnataka continues for consecutive fourth day, with both former Chief Minister Siddharamaiah and KPCC President D.K. Shivakumar (DKS) not acceding to the demand of either, ever since the results of Assembly elections was announced on May 13 and Congress won a resounding majority by winning 135 seats, the Supreme leader of Congress party Sonia Gandhi is expected to take a final call on the vexed matter later today.

Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi, who was with his mother and former Congress President Sonia Gandhi at Shimla, returned to New Delhi this morning. Rahul Gandhi met All India Congress Committee (AICC) President M. Mallikarjun Kharge at the latter’s residence,  No. 10, Rajaji Marg, New Delhi. The two leaders were closeted for over an hour and held discussions over the much debated matter, it is said.

While Shivakumar reached Delhi by flight this afternoon and drove straight towards his MP-brother D.K. Suresh’s house for lunch, Siddharamaiah is camping along with a section of MLAs in his coterie, at a hotel in New Delhi since yesterday.

As the stalemate continues with neither of the two leaders reaching a consensus, it is also said, most probably the deliberation and discussions may last till late night, before the name of Chief Minister is announced, but only after bringing it to the notice of Sonia Gandhi, it is learnt.

DKS, who is playing an emotional card, without leaving a trace of the game up in his sleeves, firing salvos after salvos about how he single-handedly and courageously braved the odds that Congress party faced in the last four years, spoke to media outside his Sadashivanagar residence before leaving to New Delhi, this morning.

“Congress party is like a God and temple for me and share a mother and child relation. Both the God and Mother know what should be given to the child. I am going to the temple to meet my God all alone. Even the AICC General Secretary has issued instructions to come alone. Hence I am going to Delhi,” said D.K. Shivakumar, who claimed improvement in his health condition.

“We have to surge ahead to keep the faith and blessings of the people. Let Goddess Chamundeshwari and people of the State bless to build Sarva Janangada Shantiya Thota (Paradise of Peace for All – the title of Congress manifesto released ahead of the recent Assembly election) and save the Constitution,” said Shivakumar.

To a query on whether he will stake claim for Chief Ministership during his meeting with the High Command later today, Shivakumar said, “I have done my duty. The national leaders have told me to come alone. Hence I am going to Delhi.”

    Thge Congress MLAs met in Shangri-l’a in Bangalore. Just look at what this hotel carges. These cretins want to help the poor! What a load of nonsense!
    I was looking at the hotels these 2 stayed in New Delhi, the 5 star hotels,. I could not afford to stay there even for a night with the kind of room rates they have, eveen wiith my income in a hard currency. The 5 star hotels in the West, cost much less in comparison. Just where do they get the money to stay in those hotels for days? It is obvious, isn’t it?

  2. citizenvoter says:

    They both should be locked up in a room and ask them to decide among themselves who will become CM. Until then a temp CM like Parameswar or M.B. Patil should be appointed. The more days they take to decide, those days are bonus for temp CM.

    Kuruba Siddaramaiah agaist Vokkaliga Shivakumar. Vokkaliga Shivakumar is just a criminal, and could go anytime to Tihar jail , if thge new CBI director Sood hurries his investigation in regards to huge money laundering by this Vokkaliga. He says, Sonia Gandhi is his mother and would abide by what she says, but yet would not budge as thev Gandhis want Kuruba Siddaramaiah, as he was a good CM.
    ??The ?Congress freebies to each family will bankrupt the state, and hence Siddaramaiah who was also the finance miniter with the experience of presenting a dozen budgets knows how to handle these promised freebies and who should they go to.

    ಬೆಚ್ಚನೆ ಮನೆಯೊಳಗೆ ಪುಕ್ಕಟೆ ವಿದ್ಯುತ್ ಇರಲು..
    ವೆಚ್ಚಕೆ 2000 ಹೊನ್ನಿರಲು …..
    ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ಮಾಡದೆ ಸಿಗುವ ಭರಪೂರ 3000 ಭತ್ಯೆ ಇರಲು..
    ಇಚ್ಚೆಯನರಿತು 10 ಕೆಜಿ ಅಕ್ಕಿ ಕೊಡುವ ಸರ್ಕಾರವಿರಲು ..
    ಮನೆಯೊಡತಿಗೆ ಆಗಾಗ ಬೇಜಾರಾದಾಗ ತವರಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಲು ಪುಕ್ಕಟೆ ಬಸ್ ಇರಲು
    ಸ್ವರ್ಗಕ್ಕೆ ಕಿಚ್ಚು ಹಚ್ಚೆಂದ ಮತದಾರ…
    ಉದ್ದಾರವಾಯಿತು ನಮ್ಮ ಚೆಲುವ ಕನ್ನಡ ನಾಡu
