Karnataka’s CM decision: The suspense regarding the name of the Karnataka Chief Minister has continued as the Congress party has been unable to decide to whom it should offer the top post in the state-Siddaramaiah or DK Shivakumar. The grand-old party has given the responsibility to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge to choose either of them for the CM’s post. Kharge, a veteran in Karnataka’s politics, might reveal the name of the Karnataka CM today (16 May). For the Past three days, the saga over the next Karnataka’s chief minister has continued as the two aspirants have played an equally significant role in the victory of the Congress party in the recently held elections in which the party won 135 of the 224 assembly seats, defeating rival BJP brutally.
