New Delhi, July 11 -- Amid intense speculation about his removal, Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah announced on Thursday that there is "no vacancy" for the CM's post. To buttress his claim, he added that Karnataka deputy CM DK Sivakumar also believes this. "...There is no question of changing the leadership... I am elected for the full term," Siddaramaiah said. "That is what DK Shivakumar said, and I am also saying it... there is no vacancy (for CM)." P8
