Belagavi: The Legislative Council on Thursday witnessed a lighter discussion about the ongoing power tussle between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.
While replying to a question, Siddaramaiah complained to the council secretariat about the chair and said he was not able to stand properly because of the chair and requested to move a bit. Immediately, the Opposition members started pulling his leg by saying, "Your chair is in trouble". But the CM replied in a lighter note and said, "Whenever a chair is in trouble, we should openly tell it. My chair is strong, don't worry. Check your chair."
Interestingly, Shivakumar was also present in the House and listening to the conversation silently.
