Several MLAs and MLCs are reportedly backing the Deputy Chief Minister, who is believed to have been promised half of the chief ministerial term starting November. Both leaders, however, have said they will abide by the party high command\u2019s decision.<\/p> <p>Despite the disruption, Siddaramaiah expressed confidence in completing his full five-year term, noting that the party high command is firmly backing him. On stage, he and Shivakumar also shared moments of cordiality, indicating that personal rapport remains intact even amid political tension.<\/p> <\/div> <p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Siddaramaiah,Dk Shivakumar,Congress rally,Bengaluru,MGNREGA,Viksit Bharat Guarantee scheme,Congress intra-party conflict,Karnataka politics,Youth Congress protests,Centre rural employment scheme#Cong #Cong #shouting #Siddaramaiah #loses #cool #youth #workers #chant #Shivakumar1769540853<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a Congress rally in Bengaluru on Tuesday, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah appeared visibly frustrated as Youth Congress members began chanting slogans in favour of his deputy and intra-party rival, DK Shivakumar.
