DK Suresh responds to Shivakumar's chances of becoming Karnataka CM; Here's what he said
Bengaluru: DK Suresh, the Congress MP and younger brother of party heavyweight DK Shivakumar, expressed his happiness over the possibility of his brother becoming the Chief Minister of Karnataka. When asked about the chances of his brother becoming the CM, Suresh stated that he would be delighted as a brother and as a common man if Shivakumar assumes the position.
The statement from Suresh came in the backdrop of Congress emerging as the single largest party in the recently concluded Karnataka Assembly elections, raising speculations about the next CM of the state. DK Shivakumar, who is known for his strong political acumen and organizational skills, is seen as a frontrunner for the position within the party.
However, it remains to be seen who the Congress high command ultimately chooses to lead the government in Karnataka. The decision is expected to be made in the coming days after a series of discussions and consultations with senior party leaders.
