'Came to discuss water disputes, no plan to meet party leaders': DK Shivakumar on his Delhi trip

New Delhi: Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Wednesday said he has no plan to meet the Congress top brass. 

Shivakumar, who is in the national capital to meet advocates to discuss the inter-state water dispute, told reporters that he has no plan to meet any party leaders as all of them are busy in Bihar assembly elections. 

"I came to meet the advocates to discuss inter-state water disputes. I held a meeting with them on Mekedatu and Krishna water dispute issues. I gave some suggestions. Our Lok Sabha members, mostly BJP leaders should raise the pending irrigation issues with the Centre and get justice to the state," he said. 

To a question on increase in ghee prices by Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF), he said, "This decision was taken for farmers' benefit. Ultimately we want farmers to get benefit out of it."

There was a speculation that Shivakumar came to Delhi to meet the party top brass amid rumours of change of leadership in the state.
