BENGALURU: A fresh jolt hit Karnataka’s ruling Congress amid party chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s move to resolve the power tussle, Deputy Chief Minister and Karnataka Congress president D.K. Shivakumar on Thursday posted a cryptic message on social media platform X about "keeping the given word, " signaling a renewed push for the Chief Minister’s post following the Congress government's two-and-a-half-year milestone.
According to party sources, the deputy CM once again reminded the high command and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of the commitment on power sharing and the transfer of the Chief Minister’s post to him after the government completes two and a half years in office.
Shivakumar posted a poster carrying the line “Word power is world power” in bold red letters, apparently a direct message to the party’s top leadership. In the post, he explains, “The biggest force in the world is to keep one's word. Be it a judge, president or anyone else, including myself, everyone has to walk the talk. Word power is world power.”
