Karnataka leadership tussle: Anjaneya backs Satish Jarkiholi as next CM

Chitradurga, Feb 11 (UNI) Former Karnataka minister H Anjaneya urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to project Public Works Department Minister Satish Jarkiholi as the next chief ministerial face, fueling speculation over a possible leadership change in the state.
Speaking at an event, Anjaneya, a close Siddaramaiah loyalist, said, "Wherever he (Satish) goes, people raise slogans that the next CM will be Satish Jarkiholi. In the past, he organised people and rallied behind Siddaramaiah. Siddaramaiah, after completing his term, should project Satish Jarkiholi as the next CM face."
