The Congress government may lose power if DK Shivakumar is not made Chief Minister, Sri Veereshwar Swami of Degulahalli Madiwaleshwar Math said on Thursday.
A Lingayat math seer told reporters at Kittur in Belagavi district that it was time for Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to keep his word and vacate his seat.
“For the first two-and-a-half years, there was a collusion between the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister to share power. Everyone knows that. Mr. Siddaramaiah is an adamant person. I know him well,” he said.
“But he should change his behavior and hand over power to Mr. Shivakumar. Otherwise, Mr. Shivakumar may get upset and the Congress government may fall,” he said.
