BENGALURU: Responding to remarks by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's son, Congress MLC Yathindra that there would be no leadership change in the state and his father would complete the full term, Deputy Chief Minister and State Congress President D.K. Shivakumar on Friday sarcastically stated, "CM's son is our high command and I will accept whatever he says."
He made the remark in Mangaluru Airport on Friday in response to a media question on Yathindra’s statement that the high command had given the green signal for his father to remain Chief Minister for the next five years and that there was no scope for speculation.
Shivakumar said, “He himself is our high command. Whatever he says, I will accept it with respect. Since he has made a statement as if he himself is the high command, let us accept him as the high command.”
