The Office of D K Shivakumar on Monday said Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was invited for breakfast on Tuesday at the residence of the deputy chief minister.
This comes after Siddaramaiah had earlier claimed Shivakumar had only told him to visit but had not given a call for breakfast at his residence following buzz of the two Congress leaders meeting again amid a power tussle in the state.
"He had told me to come on Tuesday and left. But till this moment, I have not received any call. Maybe they might call. If I am called, I will go," Siddaramaiah told the media when asked about the breakfast meeting.
Earlier, it was reported that the chief minister is set to meet Shivakumar's residence on December 2, in an effort to demonstrate unity and a truce.
This comes days after Shivakumar visited Siddaramaiah’s residence for a similar breakfast meeting. Following the first meeting that took place on the directions of the high command, both leaders publicly said “there won’t be any confusion” going forward.
On Saturday, Siddaramaiah said, "The high command asked us to settle the confusion. From tomorrow, there won't be any confusion.
The two leaders also said they would obey the high command over the leadership issue. The development is seen as a move by the high command to pause the leadership tussle between the two.
