Bengaluru: A special flight carrying Congress leader Siddaramaiah, his son Yathindra and party national general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala, besides others, made a landing in Jaipur instead of New Delhi due to bad weather on Thursday, the Chief Minister’s Office said.
Shortly after tendering his resignation as the Chief Minister of Karnataka, Siddaramaiah left for the national capital, where he is likely to meet the Congress high command regarding his successor and the Cabinet formation exercise, official sources said.
“The special flight carrying Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has landed in Jaipur instead of Delhi due to adverse weather conditions. Karnataka in-charge and Congress general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala, Ministers K J George, Bairathi Suresh, legal advisor Ponnanna, Siddaramaiah’s MLC son Yatindra, and Congress secretary Abhishek Dutt were in the flight,” the CMO statement said.
