'Let us not sell stories, let's sell future now': DK Shivakumar tells India Today

DK Shivakumar told India Today that he would neither "backstab" nor "blackmail" anyone as the race for the appointment of the new Karnataka chief minister intensified. He said the decision would be taken by today. Speaking about the much-spoken tussle between Siddaramaiah and him, Shivakumar said that one should not "sell stories" and that the time has arrived to speak about the future instead. 

Congress emerged victorious in the recently held Karnataka election by securing a handsome majority of 135 seats in the 224-member Assembly.
