Amidst persistent rumors regarding a change in leadership within the Karnataka state government Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has urged the Congress High Command to make a decisive move to end the ongoing speculation affecting the administration. The Chief Minister reportedly conveyed to the central leadership that the constant uncertainty and public statements by various party leaders are creating confusion among officials and the public while hampering developmental work.Siddaramaiah emphasized that such discussions provide ammunition to the opposition and weaken the party morale requiring an immediate and firm stance from New Delhi to silence the detractors. Sources suggest that the veteran leader is keen on completing his full tenure and has requested the party top brass to discipline cabinet ministers and MLAs who are fueling these rumors through the media.
