Bihar Minister Claims Congress High Command Backing DK Shivakumar For Karnataka CM

Patna (Bihar) [India], November 26 (ANI): Bihar Minister Nitin Nabin on Wednesday claimed that the Congress high command is backing DK Shivakumar for the Chief Minister position in Karnataka.

Nabin claimed that "Siddaramaiah has been trapped" in a game being played by the Gandhi family.

Speaking to ANI, Nabin said, "Karnataka is ruled by the same Congress party that lacks leadership. The Deputy CM wants to completely control the government. The work of empowering DK Shivakumar is being carried out by none other than Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi's family. All this game is being played by them."

Amid speculation of a change in leadership in the Karnataka government, currently led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, state minister Priyank Kharge said that every member of the Congress party is clear that, whatever the high command decides, the leaders will follow it.
