BELAGAVI: Amid the leadership "tussle" in Karnataka, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said the party high command's decision is final.
He was speaking after garlanding and offering floral tributes to the portrait of late leader S. Nijalingappa at Suvarna Soudha in Belagavi on the occasion of his birth anniversary.
When asked whether he would continue as Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah responded that the decision of the party's senior leadership would be final.
Earlier, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had asserted that he would remain in office for the full five-year term. His son, Congress MLC Yathindra, also stirred controversy by stating that the high command had rejected Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar's demand to become Chief Minister and that his father would continue in the post for the entire five years.
