Karnataka News | Siddaramaiah To Resign, Congress Bosses Back DK Shivakumar: Sources

The tussle over the top post in Karnataka has finally been resolved, with DK Shivakumar's claim being backed unanimously by the Congress central leadership, sources told NDTV. "The entire high command was for transition to DK Shivakumar," sources also said. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, sources said, has been offered a Rajya Sabha seat and asked to play a larger, national role from Delhi. He has asked for time to decide on that, sources said. Siddaramaiah has discussed the matter with his loyalists, declaring that he will "abide by the decisions of the high command," sources said. He could step down as early as tomorrow, sources said. The Congress, which held a marathon six-hour meeting earlier today, had claimed that it was about the three Rajya Sabha seats in the state, warning the media against speculating.
