Won't take back rebels even if Earth collapses: Siddaramaiah
- 3 years ago
The simmering feud between top Karnataka Congress leaders DK Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah over the party's chief ministerial candidate for the 2023 state elections has taken a new turn, with turncoat MLAs returning to the fold.
While Shivakumar has stated that MLAs may return to the party if they so wished, Siddaramaiah opposed the idea.
Leader of Opposition in Karnataka and former chief minister, Siddaramaiah told reporters, “No one from those 14 people who left us will be added. I will talk to the state Congress president DK Shivakumar about this. I stand by my words. I had earlier also said in the Assembly that the 14 people who left the Congress for the BJP would not be taken back even if a flood occurs or the earth collapses.”
