While Mallikarjun Kharge will announce the leader of the Legislature Party. On Tuesday evening, both the contenders for the post of CM DK Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah met Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge at his residence in Delhi. Both the leaders do not agree with the 50-50 formula. Kharge will now report to Sonia Gandhi about the meeting with the two leaders. After talking to Rahul-Sonia, Kharge will go to Bengaluru tomorrow.

Meanwhile, quoting sources, the news is also that Siddaramaiah's name is almost fixed for the post of Chief Minister of Karnataka. DK Shivakumar has been asked to wait till the Lok Sabha elections. Till then he will be made deputy CM or will be given two important ministries along with the state president.

DK will remain PCC chief, will become CM after three years

Looking at DK's organizational ability, he is sure to get a big responsibility. He can be made deputy CM or can remain PCC chief. He can also get a big portfolio.

There is also a proposal that Siddaramaiah should remain CM for three years and then hand over the chair to DK Shivakumar, but DK wants that there should be no controversy in this. Everything should be decided in advance that Siddaramaiah himself should leave the chair at the appointed time.

Rahul reached Kharge's residence

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi reached Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge at his residence at 12.30 pm. The newly elected MLAs of the party also met the Congress President this morning. What happened between them, it has not come to the fore.

DK Shivakumar said in Bengaluru on Tuesday morning, 'We are all one. We are 135. I don't want to divide anyone. whether they like me or not. I am a responsible person. I will not cheat nor blackmail. We built the Congress party, we built this house. I am a part of it.

He said, 'A mother gives everything to her child. Sonia Gandhi is our role model. Congress is like family to everyone. Our constitution is very important and we have to protect the interests of all. Our next target is to win 20 seats in the Lok Sabha. The Congress has not been able to announce the CM since the election results came out on May 13.
