Leadership row: Shivakumar reaches Siddaramaiah's residence for breakfast meeting

BENGALURU: (Nov 29) Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Saturday reached Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's residence 'Kaveri' for a breakfast meeting intended to break the logjam over the leadership issue.

While Siddaramaiah has been asserting that he has got a mandate to remain as the chief minister for a full five-year term, Shivakumar has claimed that he was promised that he will be made the CM after two-and-half years on a rotational basis.

The issue of change of leadership had been going on for the past two months but intensified after November 20 when the Congress government completed two-and-half years.
