Power sharing a ‘secret among 5-6 people’; will not disclose it: DKS

Making the first direct reference to the so-called “power sharing pact” in the ruling Congress, Deputy Chief Minister and KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar on Tuesday said that it was “a secret among 5 to 6 people” and that he will not disclose it in public.

Speaking to reporters at Kanakapura, he said, “I believe in my conscience and I work accordingly. We exist if party and party workers are there. I don’t want to embarrass or weaken my party.”

The KPCC chief further said, “The Chief Minister is a senior leader and an asset to the party. He has governed for 7.5 years and he has said that he would present the next budget as well. Happy to hear that. He has also helped build the party. All of us have to collectively work towards winning in 2028 and 2029.”
