New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi along with other leaders and some of the newly elected MLAs from Karnataka on Tuesday were seen arriving at the party president Mallikarjun Kharge's residence for a meeting, in which they are set to hold discussions regarding the next chief minister of Karnataka.
Kharge is also expected to hold a meeting with Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar who are frontrunners for the chief minister's post.
Shivakumar arrived in the national capital today from Bengaluru while Siddaramaiah who reached Delhi a day ago had met with party leaders yesterday.
"Congress president will take a decision based on the observers' report. There is no delay, we are following the process," Congress leader BK Hariprasad said today.
Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar before departing for Delhi from Bengaluru said that "We have built this party (Congress), we have built this house. I am a part of it...A mother will give everything to her child."
He made it clear that he would not resort to "backstabbing or blackmail" regardless of the party's decision.
The Congress won 135 seats in the recently held election to the 224-member Karnataka assembly. (with Agency inputs)
