A day after AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge ruled out any “immediate plan” on changing the Chief Minister in the State, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said he would accept the high command’s decision on leadership as “prasada.”

Reacting to Mr. Kharge’s statement, Mr. Shivakumar, who also heads the KPCC, said: “We will accept whatever decision leaders like Mr. Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi take. We will accept it as prasada.”
