Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah has become puppet and rubber stamp of Congress high command, says BJP
The new Chief Minister of Karnataka, Siddaramaiah, has allegedly been criticised by state BJP president, Nalin Kumar Kateel, as being a "puppet" for the high command of the Congress party. This was in reference to a letter from Congress general secretary (Organisation) K C Venugopal to Siddaramaiah, which listed eight MLAs approved by Congress President, Mallikarjun Kharge, for roles as Cabinet Ministers. Kateel claimed that the letter shows that Siddaramaiah is not free to pick his own Cabinet.
