Dk Shivakumar Vs Siddaramaiah

A remark by Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has once again brought into focus the fragile peace holding the Karnataka Congress government together.

While both Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar were in the running for the Karnataka Chief Minister's post, it was clear from the start that Siddaramaiah had the edge

The Congress believes in "consensus, not dictatorship", party leader KC Venugopal said today as he announced Siddaramaiah as the Congress leadership's choice for the Karnataka chief minister post, four days after returned to power in the state

Karnataka Congress Chief, DK Shivakumar, has accepted to take up the Deputy Chief Minister post following former party president Sonia Gandhi's intervention, sources claimed.

The Congress is yet to declare its Chief Minister for Karnataka with some expecting the announcement may come Thursday afternoon.

The suspense over the Karnataka Chief Minister's post after the Congress's emphatic victory in the assembly elections continued today, with party chief Mallikarjun Kharge meeting the two contenders -- DK Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah -- this evening.

In the meeting, scheduled for 6 pm at the Shangri-La Hotel in Bengaluru, the Congress Legislative Party is expected to pass a resolution leaving it to the Congress national president to decide the chief minister pick.

In the Congress's victory celebrations in Karnataka, the only downer is the looming Siddaramaiah versus DK Shivakumar tussle for the chief minister's job.

There have been fears that the party might implode ahead of the state elections if the rivalry between two leaders -- legislature party leader Siddaramaiah and state president DK Shivakumar -- over the chief minister's post is not resolved.
