DK Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress chief who is in the running for the state's top post, today claimed credit for the party's victory in the state, saying he has the backing of 135 MLAs. The Congress won 135 seats in the state in the last week's assembly election, including Siddaramaiah, Mr Shivakumar's rival for the top post. "Yesterday 135 MLAs have given their opinion and passed a one-line resolution, few have expressed their personal opinion. My power is the 135 MLAs. Under my leadership, the Congress has won 135 seats," Mr Shivakumar said.
