K'taka Dy CM Shivakumar refutes reports of Tamil Nadu MLAs arriving at Eagleton resort

BENGALURU: Deputy Chief Minister and State Congress President, D.K. Shivakumar, said that reports claiming that Tamil Nadu party MLAs had arrived at the Eagleton Resort on the outskirts of Bengaluru were false. He said he was not aware of any such development and added that if there had been any such development, he himself would have informed about it.

He further stated that the Eagleton Resort is currently closed for repairs and that all reports in this regard are false.

Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, he said, “I don’t know where they have gone. Some say they have gone to Hyderabad, while others claim they have arrived in Bengaluru. I saw such reports on television, but I am not aware of it. The party high command has not spoken to me yet regarding the matter. It would be a different matter if the high command had discussed it with me."

“Whatever stand the party takes, I will abide by it,” he said.

“It is the party’s decision. I have left it to the party. They asked me to go for campaigning, and I went for campaigning. They asked me to attend the manifesto release, and I went there as well,” he stated.
