Mysuru: A day after DCM DK Shivakumar called party MLC and CM’s son Yathindra Siddaramaiah the high command, KPCC working president Tanveer Sait Saturday disapproved of the MLC making a statement that CM Siddaramaiah would complete his full five-year term.Sait — a Congress MLA from the Narasimharaja segment in Mysuru — said that while the govt enjoys a strong mandate, decisions on leadership rest with the party high command.
Speaking to reporters in Mysuru, Sait said the people had decisively supported the party. However, “political power is never permanent for any individual,” he said. He added that Yathindra’s comments gave the impression that he was speaking on behalf of the high command, which he said was inappropriate.On the long-pending cabinet reshuffle, Sait took a sarcastic dig, noting that there had been talk of it happening in Jan, but “it remained unclear which year’s Jan was being referred to.” He also referred to allegations of increasing interference by Yathindra, saying such complaints were being heard from across the state.
