The shadowboxing over power sharing within the Congress between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has resurfaced even as the BJP is trying to wade into troubled waters.
After Social Welfare Minister H.C. Mahadevappa’s statement in Mysuru that Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue as the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister’s brother and Bengaluru Rural MP D.K. Suresh on Sunday accused Dr. Mahadevappa of not focusing on his department’s work. At Davangere, KPCC working president and Public Works Minister Satish Jarkiholi also joined the debate by stating that there has been no discussion on power sharing between the two leaders.
