Meanwhile, the Deputy CM finally broke his silence on Siddaramaiah will remain CM,  and said, “It’s not good to speak again and again, and asking the same thing again and again is also not right. I don’t want to make any comment now, and it’s not necessary”.

Shivakumar’s remarks came amid the speculation over him replacing Siddaramaiah as CM. Earlier, he deflected a question saying saying the posers should be put to whoever is talking about leadership change in the state. Shivakumar had waited for two-and-a-half years, but now he’s chosen to not to speak on the issue. His strategy appears to be to respond in a calculated manner, rather than letting impatience get the better of him.
