Even as the tussle for the Chief Minister’s post in the Congress has shifted to New Delhi, with the party high command given the task of deciding the next Chief Minister of Karnataka, supporters of KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar have stepped up their demand for considering the CM’s post to the Vokkaliga leader.
The Congress registered a thumping victory in the elections, ousting the BJP government, and former Chief MinisterSiddaramaiah and Mr. Shivakumar are lobbying for the CM’s post.
With the party yet to announce the choice amidst the tussle between Mr. Siddaramaiah and Mr. Shivakumar, a section of Vokkaliga community members on Monday staged a demonstration in Mysuru demanding the CM’s post to Mr. Shivakumar, giving him the credit for bringing the Congress party to power in the State.
