Bengaluru, May 25 -- Amid buzz over leadership change and a Cabinet reshuffle in Karnataka, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday said the Congress high command has invited him to Delhi on May 26 for a meeting.
He, however, said he was unaware of the meeting's agenda.
"I'm invited to Delhi. Tomorrow there is a meeting by 11 am. I don't know the subject. But, I'm invited. Last night, K C Venugopal (AICC general secretary - Organisation) called me and intimated to me about the date and the meeting," Siddaramaiah told reporters in response to a question on his visit to the national capital.
To a question regarding speculation surrounding his meeting with the high command, he said, "It is always there."
Speculations are rife about the leadership change and cabinet reshuffle, as the government completed three years in office on May 20.
According to party and official sources, although the Congress high command is widely expected to discuss resolving the leadership tussle between Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar, discussions may also involve upcoming elections to four Rajya Sabha seats from Karnataka, of which Congress can win three. The rollout of SIR of electoral rolls in the state might also figure in the meeting.
