Public Works Minister Satish Jarkiholi said it was natural for Congress leaders to meet the high command in Delhi, but he had no information about the possibility of the chief minister and deputy minister meeting the party high command.
Speaking to presspersons in Belagavi on Sunday, he said he had information that both Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar had participated in the campaign against “vote theft” in New Delhi. “But I don’t have any clear information about them meeting the party high command,” he said.
On Chief Minister MLA Iqbal Hussain’s statement, Mr. Jarkiholi said it would be appropriate to ask questions to the concerned leader who made the statement. “The High Command’s decision is final on the leadership issue. You should ask them. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar will consult and decide on the matter,” he said.
