BENGALURU: LEADER of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi meeting both Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM D K Shivakumar on the tarmac of Mysuru airport on Tuesday, albeit briefly, has reignited the leadership aspirations of both camps. Rahul, in a tete-a-tete, invited both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar to Delhi to discuss the issue of change in leadership and cabinet reshuffle, informed sources said. “Rahul has called both the CM and Deputy CM to Delhi for talks, and all the confusion will be resolved. But both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar have not confirmed whether Rahul called them to Delhi or not. Shivakumar said that he would not like to talk publicly about what transpired between him and his party leaders.
