00:00now of sidra maya and dk shiv kumar meeting now the body language is warm casual comfortable

00:06which was expected you know if you were expecting that they'll be looking angry at each other

00:10or hostile at each other not going to happen these two are veteran politicians they've worked

00:14together for years now as the chief minister and deputy chief minister so they do very much have

00:19a working equation a comfortable one at that which is what's reflective in the pictures as well so

00:24as much as you're seeing all of this fight going on all this nataka as it's being called

00:28you can't expect that they'll be hostile towards each other because they know what to expect right

00:34now uh and uh even as we continue to track all of those updates i'm just going to ask our producers

00:42if we have nikil kumaraswamy with us

00:44okay he's live with us nikil kumaraswamy of the jds is with us nikil kumaraswamy namaskara what do you

00:55make of the breakfast meeting between dk shukumar and sidra maya is the drama in your state finally

01:00going to end

01:01i don't think so the people of uh karnataka think the drama is going to end uh pretty much soon

01:09but uh as we all know the lines are very clear the congress is uh united for breakfast but divided as a

01:18party in whole uh it is so unfortunate that they have gotten a clear mandate from the people of

01:25karnataka wherein they have got 136 seats but unfortunately from the past two and a half years

01:34we have been seeing i think this is one of the worst governance uh the karnataka has seen since

01:45independence this is not just the opposition talking about this but even the people of karnataka

01:50are fed up at the end of the day as we all know uh the congress has completed 2.5 years of their

01:58governance but in return what has people of karnataka have got people of karnataka have got

02:05three lakh rupees crores debt three lakh crores debt and of course the governance has taken a backseat

02:13and the corruption is at its peak and uh right here in front of the chief minister's residence i want

02:22to ask you you are party your party has been in power with the congress in coalition from 2018 to

02:272019 you though you know both cm and the deputy chief minister quite closely who do you think

02:32will blink first in this whole meeting who do you think will make way uh for the other person or

02:37you think it this fight will continue for the next three months how do you see this going forward

02:42okay just before nikil you answer that my apologies for interrupting first picture

02:48of dk shiv kumar and sidra maya's breakfast meeting that's coming in your guess was right

02:53nikil there are idlis on the breakfast table uh but you can see both of them looking warmly at the

03:00uh photographer trying to suggest that all is well both are smiling they are looking comfortable

03:06there's a candid picture that's been clicked of both of them having breakfast so they're already

03:10at the breakfast table getting down to business what's also very clear here from the first picture

03:15is that it's a one-on-one meet nobody else is there if the previous picture had the cm's advisor in it

03:21in this picture nobody else but sidra maya and dk shiv kumar having a heart-to-heart having a one-on-one

03:27breakfast meeting that's currently underway i can see all of the lovely south indian delicacies on display

03:34there a typical bengaluru breakfast if you will for chief minister sidra maya and for dk shiv kumar

03:40but nikil my apologies for interrupting go ahead yeah ma'am as we all know i think uh a past a few

03:48days back the aicc president himself shri kargeth ji uh was so helpless on settling this issue he says

03:57that in front of the media that the high command has to intervene and interfere and try to sort out

04:03this issue but as an opposition we don't understand the position what kargeth ji holds we all think

04:11that he is the utmost uh i mean national president of course he has to be responsible on probably

04:19settling down these issues that unfortunately kargeth ji himself looks up to i don't know the

04:25gandhi family but as we all know i mean every day uh the disgrunt among the mlas the mlas among the

04:35the congress they don't know uh who to follow they don't know who their leader is uh but looking at all

04:43these things ma'am all i want to put across is the congress has gotten a clear mandate from the

04:50people of karnataka and it has been 2.5 years since they have been in the government but unfortunately

04:56people of karnataka what have they gotten in return but today you are having a joint nda meeting

05:03here in bengalura crucial nda meeting you are your party and bjp are having a meet this morning

05:09is the no confidence motion seriously being thought about or it's just pure optics in the

05:14winter session the nda wants to move on no confidence first of all are you on board in

05:19this whole idea of no confidence motion for the bjp absolutely sir we have had the talks about the

05:26no confidence motion now we are just going and heading and meeting the opposition leader of bjp

05:31r ashukh ji and of course uh shri hd kumar swamiji the union cabinet minister is right in front of my

05:37car we are traveling to the hotel there so we will be talking about moving the no confidence motion

05:43because we don't know i mean as we all know uh the mlas within the congress within the governance

05:51are so confused they don't know who to follow they don't know what is going to happen tomorrow

05:57or whether they any the issue is going to settle down anytime soon but sir i want to put

06:03the politics across sir all i want to tell is 2.5 years of governance which they have delivered

06:10i mean the promises shri siddharamaya ji and the congress gave to the people of karnataka were

06:17540 promises they claim they have reached 239 but yesterday you open certain papers and you read out

06:27the real fact is they have just reached nine promises out of 540 this clearly shows it is a

06:34utter failure of the government and of course sir you come to bangalore city they claim it is

06:41silicon city sir it has its own history but you look at the potholes you're seeing decisions being

06:47taken for farmers you're seeing all of these policies being taken so you know are we being unfairly

06:53critical yes there's internal turmoil but are they really letting it affect governance what's the

06:57evidence of that because the congress maintains that look we are ensuring we're taking the necessary

07:02decisions you had the chief minister deputy chief minister going about their business even attending

07:06government events yesterday they're just attending the government events ma'am but at the end of the

07:14day what have they given i mean they just claim they're giving the guarantees five guarantees i mean

07:20of course the five guarantees which they themselves said that each month they will be giving the

07:25gruha laxmi osna or the yubinidi but unfortunately they only think about gruha laxmi whenever there is

07:32a lok sabha election coming up or if there is a by-election coming up they hold on to four months

07:37five months of gruha laxmi and they just put it across this for their own political gain but at the

07:43end of the day ma'am here the real sufferers are the people of karnataka the real voters of

07:48karnataka ma'am look look at the hello can you hear me ma'am hello yes yes go ahead go ahead

07:57the the people of karnataka ma'am especially the silicon city which historically bangalore has

08:06gotten the name but today it has been called as the what hall city i mean the neighboring states today

08:12they're talking about getting the database companies data centers and setting up data centers we are in

08:19the world of artificial intelligence okay

08:22okay so you're saying that that's showing in the governance but nikhil kumaraswamy thank you for

08:30joining us the jd is there saying that they are very much for a no confidence motion against the

08:35sidramaya government they are highlighting that as a result of all of this chaos it's governance that's

08:40taken ahead but let me for a moment put full focus on the pictures on our screens of gk shiv kumar and

08:46sidramaya together we've got multiple pictures videos now uh that's out of sidramaya welcoming dk

08:53shiv kumar into his house of them sitting down and having a breakfast meeting over idlis it seems i'm

08:58a little disappointed at the menu because i was expecting a large spread of dosas idlis upit as

09:04you promised me that's what i don't see any of it i see only hot idlis no you can see dk shukumar's

09:09plate there's kara but that is upit oh there is upit there is upit there is upit there's no busy

09:12bilabad there's no hot dosas i don't know about information but uh i'm getting hungry looking at

09:18this come on we skip breakfast ensure that they do justice to the breakfast that's also not happening

09:22i see only a little bit of food there i wish chief minister calls all the media contingent right in

09:26front of his house and takes us as a part of the breakfast meet we will assure chief minister we'll

09:31leave the cameras aside and then just walk in only for the breakfast but jokes apart this looks like

09:37uh both the camaraderie is not lost nothing is lost it looks like because both of them chief

09:42minister as well as uh as well as uh deputy chief minister some movement behind us oh that's uh one

09:48of the high court judges moving away to uh from the residence of of his house but what i was saying

09:54is the camaraderie still remains the photo the body language in the photo looks calm both are not

09:59anxious both are smiling at each other as soon as you walked in the visuals as soon as dk shukumar walked

10:04in he shook hands he asked checked up upon something because the audio in this video is

10:09muted so we don't have audio about this uh he spoke to dk shukumar and shook hands maybe inquired saying

10:16are you going to delhi he might have said sir uh i'm waiting for the official call and also

10:20would have updated him on the make a datu project on the uh and the meeting with delhi officials and

10:26the lawyers is what we are told ponana is a crucial member there he might have all the information as

10:32to what's going on ponana is the legal advisor of the chief minister also the mla from kodugu district

10:38so he's inside he's the only lone mla as of now inside the cm's residence but i'm told he's not

10:44inside the dining hall he's also sitting out only these two leaders sidara maya and shukumar are

10:49having yummy breakfast idli dosa and upit and uh on the side i'd say the mains is political discussion

10:56that's the main all this is just starters really let me bring in sagaraj for more details

11:01of what's transpiring inside sagai it's been about 20 minutes since uh dk shukumar made his

11:06way inside pictures of the two of them at ease comfortable not surprised because they do have

11:11a great working relationship they're not going to let any of the cameras catch any of the hostility

11:16between them absolutely and this is not something new we have seen even in the past even after the

11:25announcement of the chief minister and deputy chief minister in delhi they held their hands and said

11:29that they are united and again now it is not something new for them and whatever they have

11:34done it's all a back screen and whenever it comes in front of media or in public these are the optics

11:39which has been played that they are together they don't have any issues everything uh as per the

11:44plans and nothing out of control and this is what even the high command wants well come come over a

11:50dining table have breakfast and send across a message saying that you are united and later on

11:54we will take a decision in high company in delhi and we will decide who will continue as the chief

11:58minister or who will be the next chief minister of karnataka you just don't get involved in all those

12:04social media batter instead send across a message to the people and media

12:08okay so clearly at this point messaging is important we can only look at the body language

12:17dk shiv kumar there uh in sidra maya's residence for breakfast wearing his uh trademark gucci shawl

12:24uh naga always dk shiv kumar in the best of the best he's always seen in designer shawls

12:29it's a chilly morning here so i don't blame him for pulling out

12:31some of his designer shawls out as well uh and we're all here waiting from 8 a.m in the morning

12:37for exactly what we're seeing right now for these pictures of dk shiv kumar and sidra maya

12:42sitting down having a breakfast it's moving rather quickly i i thought that the meeting would

12:47last a long time but they're already done perhaps with breakfast well like i said both of them can't

12:52wait for breakfast after 10 10 a.m usually their breakfast time is between 9 a.m to 10 a.m because

12:57they have to take the tablets and get started with their official routine right

13:01they have to get uh hit the road by 10 a.m to meet officials and go to vidhatshada

13:05okay let's cut a cross live right now to hd kumaraswamy
