New Delhi: Amid intense speculation over the next CM of Karnataka, the Congress has said a decision on it is likely on soon and a new cabinet in State will be in place in next 48- 72 hours. There seemed a ‘crossroad situation’ in the Karnataka CM selection process on Wednesday. Congress high command has come up with a new formula to run govt under leadership of those who win the election to give message of unity, Kharge and Sonia Gandhi held a discussion. Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar played a role in the victory of Congress in Karnataka. Sources said, ‘Word is that 50:50 formula was discussed, but DK asked for CM post for 1st part and made a promise to high command saying, “Give me the first two and a half years, I will win all the seats in the Lok Sabha and if I don’t win, I will come forward and resign myself.”

High command said, “How will Siddaramaiah ji be balanced if he wins the seats?” And thus, high command once again got confused after not getting the answer to this question.
