Mysore/Mysuru, July 10 -- DKS meets Sonia Gandhi, seeks elevation as Chief Minister

With the Congress Government led by Siddaramaiah having completed two years in office, power politics has shifted to New Delhi, with both Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his Deputy D.K. Shivakumar (DKS) camping in the national capital for the past couple of days.

Shivakumar, who compromised after being asked by Party High Command to accept the post of Deputy Chief Minister a couple of years back before the Government formation, met Congress Party's supreme leader Sonia Gandhi at the residence of Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and held a meeting for about 20 minutes with a request to fulfil the party's promise to elevate him as the Chief Minister.
