So will it be decided by slip, who will be the cm of Karnataka?Who will be karnataka CM: The atmosphere in the congress is heated regarding the post of karnataka CM. There is a lot of curiosity about how Kharge will elect the karnataka CM. The reason is that both the contenders for the post of karnataka cm Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar are very important for the party. The matter has become so complicated that the congress high command is looking for a formula. A formula that is acceptable to both claimants. Meanwhile, some veteran congress leaders believe that the name for the post of cm will be announced on May 17 and the swearing-in ceremony will be held on May 18.Party leaders say that the Chief Minister's tenure can be shared between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar in karnataka, while some believe that a decision should be taken by drawing lots. It is being told that the formula for sharing the post has been suggested by Siddaramaiah.
Both these formulas remain the subject of discussion in the congress offices. Whatever may be the decision of the high command on this, but the big truth is that there is a tough fight between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar. It is also believed that its decision can be taken today itself.
The possibility of sharing the chief ministerial post
is being finalized after congress, Siddaramaiah and D.K.Shivakumar openly claimed the chief minister's post after a massive mandate in the karnataka assembly elections. According to AICC sources, Siddaramaiah has made a suggestion that he is willing to share the chief minister's post with Shivakumar.
Sources say that Siddaramaiah wants a first term. He will step down after the first two years for Shivakumar for the rest of his term. It is also being told that a ballot will be held in front of congress President mallikarjun Kharge at the AICC office.
