Congress high command has to put full stop on CM change confusion: Siddaramaiah

Reiterating that he will abide by the high command's decision on the issue of CM change, he said legislators are free to meet the party leadership and share their opinion.

The power tussle within the ruling party has intensified, amid speculation about chief minister change in the state, after the Congress government reached the halfway mark of its five-year term on November 20, citing an alleged "power-sharing" agreement involving Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM D K Shivakumar in 2023.

Responding to a question about a team of legislators backing Shivakumar travelling to Delhi, Siddaramaiah said, "Let them (legislators) go, MLAs have freedom. Let's see what opinion they give. Ultimately, the high command has to make the decision. We will abide by what the high command says."
