Bengaluru, Jun 27 (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday dismissed the reports of bickering in the ruling Congress in the state.
Siddaramaiah also asked people to ignore Cooperation Minister K N Rajanna’s statement that there were many power centres in the ruling Congress in the state.
Rajanna on Thursday had also said that there will be a political development after September. The statement was perceived as an indication of a possible leadership change in Karnataka.
“Where’s internal bickering? All that Rajanna has said is that there are developments. He did not say that such and such things will happen,” Siddaramaiah told reporters here.
“What can be done if you write speculative reports? It’s better to ignore it,” the Chief Minister said.
He did not respond to the question on Rajanna’s statement that there are many power centres in Congress in Karnataka.
Rajanna had said, "During 2013-18 there was only one power centre. Now there are many – one, two, three.”
