Bengaluru, Congress MLA Ashok Pattan on Wednesday fuelled speculation over a leadership change in Karnataka, by saying that there was quite a possibility of Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar becoming the next chief minister.
Hinting at a major Cabinet reshuffle under the new leadership, Pattan also said around 15 to 20 ministers from the existing Cabinet may have to make way to accommodate new faces, while asserting that there was no possibility of voting in the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting and that the new leader would be elected unanimously.
