BENGALURU: Congress MLA and former minister K.N. Rajanna, a close associate of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, on Wednesday opined that the party high command may not intervene in the leadership issue in the state.
Rajanna's statement assumes significance as Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar is trying to meet the high command leaders over the leadership tussle.
Speaking to reporters in Tumakuru, Rajanna said the AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge questioned why internal issues were being pointed towards the high command and had suggested that such matters should be resolved within the state unit itself.
"After Kharge's statement, I doubt whether the high command will interfere in this matter. In my opinion, the high command will not step in, " Rajanna said.
