Badami MLA Shivannanavar Issues Cabinet Ultimatum

Shivannanavar claims that former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been actively advocating for his appointment, lobbying the party’s high command in Delhi to address the regional imbalance. While the Badami representative has held discussions with the current Chief Minister regarding a potential shift, he remains steadfast in his refusal to continue in a corporate role. He stated that if his demand for a cabinet seat is ignored, he will vacate his current position immediately. Despite the tension, Shivannanavar has explicitly requested that his supporters avoid staging protests or exerting public pressure on his behalf, maintaining that the final decision rests solely with the party leadership.
