Taking a swipe at Congress leader D K Shivakumar, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said Mr. Shivakumar is dreaming of becoming the Chief Minister at a time when he is not being allowed to function as the KPCC president by his own colleagues.
On July 20, the Chief Minister told reporters at Mysuru airport that he is watching developments in the Congress party and noticed that Mr. Shivakumar is unable to discharge his responsibilities as head of the State Congress.
Responding to Mr. Shivakumar’s remarks that he is a ‘remote-controlled CM’, Mr. Bommai said the rift between Mr. Shivakumar and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is evident. “When this is the case, he (Mr. Shivakumar) shouldn’t comment about others but see what’s happening in his own party,” the CM said.
