A decision on the appointment of the chief minister (CM) of Karnataka will be known in a day or two, AICC spokesperson Pawan Khera said on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, Karnataka Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar met party president Mallikarjun Kharge at his residence here separately and discussed the modalities of government formation in the southern state.
Khera told reporters here that the views of the newly-elected MLAs have been elicited and the central leadership is seized of the matter. Noting that the post of Leader of Opposition is equally important in every state, he sought to know when the BJP will appoint the LoP in Karnataka. “Appointing a CM is not an easy thing. It cannot be imposed from Delhi... Everybody’s view has to be taken into consideration. We have to engage with every stakeholder and then decide who the chief minister will be,” he said.
