Congress high-command will resolve confusion on Karnataka leadership change in two days: KPCC working president Tanveer Sait

Mysuru: KPCC working president and MLA Tanveer Sait said that the Congress high-command would resolve the confusion over the leadership change issue in Karnataka with an announcement in the next two days.

Speaking to media persons, in Mysuru, on Saturday, Sait, who is also a former minister, said, “The party high-command should have clarified its stand on the power-sharing issue earlier itself. Confusion on whether an agreement was reached or not has continued for the past two and a half years. There is no loss to the party due to such developments but the confusion should have been avoided. Now, it appears to have reached a dangerous proportion. Thus, the high-command will announce its decision soon.”

“Only those who were present during the discussion are aware of who gave a word, who did not give a word, and who broke their word. The power-sharing formula was not discussed in front of the Congress MLAs. Therefore, we do not know what happened there,” Sait said.

Sait, a prominent minority leader from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s home district of Mysuru, said, “I have a good relationship with Siddaramaiah. I respect and admire him. But I have gratitude towards Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar too. Shivakumar mentored me, politically. There is nothing to hide about this. I do not think about the benefits or loss. However, I am also an aspirant for a ministerial berth.”
