I will not backstab and I will not blackmail."The Congress won 135 seats in the recently held election to the 224-member Karnataka assembly.Shivakumar earlier today arrived at the Bengaluru airport ahead of his departure for Delhi amid ongoing talks in the Congress party for the next Karnataka CM.The Karnataka Congress president will meet the party's high command ahead of the party's announcement on the top post."The Party is my god...We have built this party, I am a part of it and I am not alone in this," he said before his departure from Bengaluru."We have built this party (Congress), we have built this house. I am a part of it...A mother will give everything to her child," he said.Asked about his expectations as the state party president, Shivakumar said," I don't want to comment on what has happened earlier. How it happened. That is a closed chapter we formed the government we lost the government, we lost a coalition government.

I don't want to comment or speak anything more. Whatever I had to speak, I have spoken already. I do not want MLAs (support)...that is not important to me. Ours is a Congress block. 135 is the number and one more ally member. We all are one and will work together".Meanwhile, Congress veteran Siddaramaiah met with the top leadership of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) at Delhi's Lodhi Hotel late on Monday night.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
