‘I could have resigned too’: Karnataka CM Shivakumar recalls cabinet berth denial during Siddaramaiah's tenure
His statement came a day after a few Congress MLAs offered to resign after failing to secure a ministerial post in the long-awaited cabinet reshuffle.
Chief Minister DK Shivakumar of Karnataka recounted his own experience of being denied a ministerial post during former Chief Ministers Dharam Singh and Siddaramaiah's tenures, in response to recent Congress MLAs threatening to resign due to their exclusion from the recent cabinet reshuffle. The expansion brought the cabinet to its full strength, with 20 legislators including P M Narendraswamy, Shivaraj Tangadagi, and Rudrappa Lamani being sworn in.
Shivakumar urged patience and emphasized that party loyalty comes first, promising to accept any resignations within minutes.
