Bengaluru, Feb 17 (UNI) Karnataka Minister for Cooperation KN Rajanna on Monday dismissed Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar’s remarks on the alleged misuse of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s name, stating, "Who cares about warnings?"
Addressing the media, Rajanna asserted that Karnataka Congress President Shivakumar’s statement was not a warning but merely an expression of opinion. "We have not misused anyone’s name. Let him not misuse the name of the AICC. By invoking the AICC for everything, he should not misuse it," he said.
Rajanna reiterated his commitment to party discipline, asserting his 50 years of service to the Congress. He clarified that discussions regarding the Chief Minister’s tenure were ultimately subject to the high command’s decision. "The high command will decide on both long-term and short-term matters. Siddaramaiah has already addressed this issue in the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting," the Minister added.
