Amid intense power struggle involving his deputy and state Congress chief DK Shivakumar, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on Friday asserted that he would continue in office and also present state budgets in the future, prompting “all the best” wish from the former.

The veteran leader’s assertion came amidst the intense power struggle in the ruling Congress, with the Shivakumar camp mounting pressure on the party high command for a leadership change. AICC General Secretary in-charge of Karnataka Randeep Singh Surjewala issued a stern warning to party MLAs and leaders against making any public statements on the issue of leadership. At least 15 MLAs and about a dozen MLCs have camped in New Delhi to push the party leadership to make Shivakumar the next CM, Congress sources said.
