Let us tell you that Congress leader Siddaramaiah, the other contender for the post of Chief Minister, had reached the national capital on Monday. Shivakumar was also called by the party to Delhi on Monday but he did not go to Delhi citing stomach infection. On the other hand, the party’s central observers for Karnataka on Monday conveyed the views of the newly elected MLAs to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge.
According to party sources, Mallikarjun Kharge will consult Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra before taking the final decision. The Congress Legislature Party met in Bengaluru late on Sunday evening and the responsibility of electing the Legislature Party chief was given to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge.
