This followed a similar meeting they had at the Chief Minister's residence on November 29, following which Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar put all speculations of a power struggle at rest.

Following the meeting held as per the directive of the Congress high command, both leaders had publicly stated that “there won’t be any confusion” going forward.

“The high command asked us to settle the confusion. From tomorrow, there won’t be any confusion,” Siddaramaiah said on Saturday after holding talks with Shivakumar.

On Monday, Shivakumar said, “Me and the CM continue to work together as a team. I have invited the honourable CM for breakfast tomorrow to discuss and strengthen our collective efforts to deliver on our promises to Karnataka.”
