The tussle in Karnataka amid speculation of a power-sharing formula involving Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy DK Shivakumar has caused concern among Congress leaders in the state.
The issue is likely to be discussed by central leaders after the party's strategy group meeting ahead of the winter session of Parliament on November 30. Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi
will be present at the strategy group meeting.
Amid the tensions, Siddaramaiah said there is no change in his stance and invited Shivakumar for a breakfast meeting.
“The high command has called both of us, so I have invited him for breakfast, and we will talk there. As I said earlier, I will accept whatever the high command says; there is no change in my stand,” he said.
