Shivkumar taunted
Addressing an event, Shivkumar reminded Rahul Gandhi of his promise. He said, ‘There is a saying that the power of words is the power of the world, that is, for us, keeping our promise is the biggest power. Be it a judge, the President of India, me, you or anyone in your family, everyone should respect it. After this Kumar taunted about the CM chair. He further said, ‘Those who are standing behind me do not know the value of the chair. Instead of sitting on whatever chair they find, they stand there unnecessarily. Everyone started laughing at this. Even before this, Shivkumar had reminded Rahul Gandhi of his promise.
Decision may be taken by December 1
As the Congress government reaches the halfway point of its five-year term on November 20, Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar are at loggerheads over “power-sharing”. Shivakumar claims that after winning the assembly elections, a promise was made to change the Chief Minister after two and a half years, while the Siddaramaiah faction is refusing to accept it. Sources say that a decision on the change of power in the Congress party can be taken by December 1. Kharge will find a solution to this fight by discussing with big leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Shivkumar, Siddaramaiah.
