DK Shivakumar
There is a lot of speculation these days in Karnataka politics. There was discussion that there could be a major change in the Congress government of the state. Siddaramaiah may depart from the top post of power. Someone else can be made the Chief Minister in his place. Meanwhile, the statement of Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Congress Party Karnataka unit President DK Shivakumar has come to light. He said in a statement on Monday that he has no differences with anyone in his party. He appealed to the media not to drag him into any controversy.
“No differences with anyone”
Shivakumar made it clear that his only responsibility is to save the party and the government. Speaking to reporters, Shivakumar said, “My only responsibility is to save the party and keep the government stable. Apart from this I have no other responsibilities. I have no personal differences with anyone. Please do not drag my name into any controversy or unnecessary discussions.”
Demand for full time president
DK Shivakumar’s statement came at a time when some ministers and MLAs demanded a full-time president for the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee. Karnataka’s Public Works Minister, Satish Jarkiholi, had recently commented that ministers were not able to function properly while holding key party posts. On this, Shivakumar said that he is fully committed to protecting the interests of the party and the workers and is working without any kind of internal differences.
“Don’t create fake controversy”
Shivkumar said, “This is a matter between the party, the high command and me. Please do not create any kind of fight or fake controversy within the party.” When asked if there were any internal differences in the Congress party, he said, “There is no rift in the party. I am the president of the Karnataka unit of Congress and treat all party workers equally. It is my duty to take everyone together.” (with language input)
