Congress MLA claims Shivakumar will replace Siddaramaiah as chief minister after two-and-half years

Congress MLA Ravikumar Gowda has claimed that Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar will become the Chief Minister after two and a half years of the Siddaramaiah-led government’s tenure. Gowda alleged that a team is working to lure Congress legislators with allurements like Rs 50 crore and ministerial posts, and four legislators have already been contacted. He stated that there is evidence for this and it will be revealed soon. Gowda also praised Siddaramaiah’s leadership and dismissed false controversies created by the opposition.
