With the landslide victory of the Congress in the Karnataka assembly elections, the biggest question that has arisen before the party is that who should be made the Chief Minister of the state. Two names are most discussed from the Congress side. The first name is former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and the second name is Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar. Meanwhile, DK Shivakumar said that he had no differences with Siddaramaiah.

I have sacrificed many times for the party- DK Shivakumar

Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar said, “Some people say that I have differences with Siddaramaiah but I want to make it clear that there is no difference between us. I have made many sacrifices for the party and stood by Siddaramaiah ji. I have supported Siddaramaiah.” Karnataka Congress President said that I made sacrifices and helped and stood by Siddaramaiah. Was I not patient when I was not made a minister in the beginning? I have supported Siddaramaiah.
