BENGALURU: With Deputy Chief Minister and KPCC president DK Shivakumar’s camp apparently optimistic that he would become the next chief minister, the ministers in support of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah seem to have changed their tact, saying that the latter will remain the CM for five years.
At a rally organised in Channapatna on Sunday to thank voters who ensured victory of Congress candidate CP Yogeshwara in the bypoll, the sympathisers of Shivakumar wished that their leader will become the CM next. Magadi MLA HC Balakrishna, in his welcome speech, remarked that Shivakumar will reign in the top post soon.
