BJP's Shehzad Poonawalla said while there's confusion within Congress over choosing new CM in Kerala, a power tussle over the CM post continues in Karnataka between CM Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar. He said there are posters outside Congress office in Bengaluru projecting Shivakumar as next CM. Poonawalla also mocked the party, saying INC stands for “I Need Chair.”
