Karnataka leadership tussle: Anjaneya backs Satish Jarkiholi as next CM

Chitradurga, Feb 11 (UNI) Former Karnataka minister H Anjaneya urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to project Public Works Department Minister Satish Jarkiholi as the next chief ministerial face, fueling speculation over a possible leadership change in the state.
Speaking at an event, Anjaneya, a close Siddaramaiah loyalist, said, "Wherever he (Satish) goes, people raise slogans that the next CM will be Satish Jarkiholi.
