Played a big role in telangana after KarnatakaAfter karnataka, DK Shivakumar has played a big role for the congress party in telangana elections. Accordingto congress sources, the responsibility of fund management and war room monitoring of telangana elections wason the shoulders of DK.Before the announcement of election results, congress had sent DK to hyderabad as an observer. congress fearedthat if the party did not get absolute majority, its MLAs could be defeated. A congress leader, on condition ofanonymity, said – DK Shivakumar was included in every major decision of telangana elections. TelanganaCongress President revanth reddy also took advice from him. DK’s image among congress workers in SouthIndia is that of a fighting leader, who is capable of fighting the big people in power in every way.Did not get the post of chief minister in KarnatakaAfter the victory of congress in karnataka, there was a lot of talk about making DK Shivakumar the ChiefMinister, but he lost in front of Siddaramaiah. congress handed over the post of Deputy chief minister to DKShivkumar under the power sharing formula. Shivakumar is also the President of karnataka Congress. However,his supporters are continuously demanding to make him the CM. This demand is unlikely to be fulfilled beforethe lok sabha elections. The reason is Siddaramaiah's strong hold. In such a situation, there is talk thatShivkumar can get a big responsibility in the organization itself. In the congress cell, Shivkumar also has theimage of a firebrand leader, who has challenged the strong organization of bjp many times in the past.
