Bengaluru, Jan 1: Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar on Friday mocked Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa over latter s remarks that he will complete his remaining term. What was the need for the CM to say he’ll stay on for two more years? We hadn’t questioned him. He certified himself because there’s panic, Mr Shivkumar said while referring to Mr Yediyurappa’s assertion that there will not be any change in leadership and he would complete his term till 2023. Their own MLAs have been talking about a change in leadership. If a CM has to certify himself, it means there s some danger lurking , the Congress leader averred.
