(MENAFN- IANS) Bengaluru, July 8 (IANS) Minister for Cooperation, KN Rajanna who openly defied orders of Deputy Chief Minister, DK Shivakumar, over making statements on creation of more Dy CM posts in Karnataka, said on Monday that the high command has asked him not to create confusion regarding leadership change in the state by making remarks.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Minister Rajanna stated,“No one should talk about creation of more Dy CM posts and change of CM. The matter of change of leadership will be taken care of by the high command. The decision of the high command is binding on all.“Even I feel that there should be no confusion in these matters. Wherever the changes are required, the high command will make decisions. The decision of the high command is final.”
