Karnataka News: Amid an ongoing political tussle in Karnataka, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday admitted that there were "some confusions" among the party MLAs, adding that the Congress high command will take the final decision. While talking to the reporters in Bengaluru, the chief minister stated that the MLAs have freedom to visit the top leadership in Delhi. Apart from this, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar clarified that he did not contact the MLAs who visited Delhi. He emphasised that the matter should not be discussed publicly, adding that the party is focused and united for the upcoming polls.
On being asked about the reasons behind the MLAs' visit to the national capital, Siddaramaiah asserted that the high command will put a full stop on all the speculations. "Let them go. MLAs have the freedom to go to Delhi. Let's see what their opinion is. Ultimately, it's the high command that decides. Let them say what they want. Ultimately, to put a full stop to this confusion, the high command has to take a decision," the chief minister told the reporters.

The speculation on a possible power shift escalated after Shivakumar was seen having a long discussion with the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday. However, the deputy chief minister refused to provide details by stating that the issue should not be discussed in the public domain. "I haven't asked for anything. The matter of leadership is between about five or six of us, and I'm not going to discuss this publicly," Shivakumar told the reporters.
"I believe in my inner consciousness. I don't want to embarrass the party or make it seem weak. We are there because of the party and the workers," he added. Some of the Congress MLAs have travelled to Delhi to reportedly express their desire for a leadership change in Karnataka.
