No Projection Of Chief Ministerial Candidate In Karnataka, Says Congress
NDTV
Rahul Gandhi intervened as the rivalry between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar threatened to go the Punjab Congress way.
With Siddaramaiah on his right and state Congress chief DK Shivakumar on his left, Randeep ingh Surjewala, the party's Karnataka in-charge, today announced that the two will work together and neither will be projected as a Chief Ministerial candidate. The decision followed the eruption of internal fighting between their two camps over who would be the leader. Even though Siddaramaiah, a former Chief Minster, has denied any rift within the party, loyalists of both camps have in recent weeks been publicly backing their respective leaders for the top post in the state. Ultimately Rahul Gandhi had to intervene and decide that no one will be given preference. When asked by NDTV who will lead the party -- Punjab recently witnessed an ugly fight over leadership and Karnataka seemed to be moving in that direction -- Mr Surjewala said both Siddaramaiah and Mr Shivakumar had been asked to work together.
