Shivakumar to take over the top post in the state. What will Siddaramaiah get in return?

Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah is yet give nod to the high command's proposal and sought more time to decide on the issue. Minister loyal to Siddaramaiah and his close aides have reportedly asked him to weigh in all his options before deciding on resigning as CM. The reports come after a day-long discussions between the Congress high command and the state top brass. AICC General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal said the party discussed only the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections and vacant MLC seats. Whatever speculation you people are doing, that is only speculation. No reality at all, said Venugopal denying reports of Siddaramaiah stepping down. He was addressing the media while flanked by Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar.
