Congress leader and Karnataka`s deputy chief minister, D K Shivakumar, did not immediately address the recent Cabinet decision to revoke approval for a CBI investigation into disproportionate assets allegedly linked to him. Chief of the Karnataka Congress, Shivakumar, declined to comment directly on the state cabinet`s position, citing media reports that emphasised the cabinet`s position on the previous BJP government`s approval of the CBI probe, stated agency reports. 

"I saw in the paper (newspaper), I could not attend (the cabinet meeting) yesterday. Whoever has to speak on it will speak," Shivakumar told reporters in Bengaluru.
