Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Friday reconsidered his statement a day after Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge pulled up D K Shivakumar over his statement that the Karnataka government would review the 'Shakti' guarantee scheme. The scheme offers free bus travel to women in the state, reported news agency ANI.

While speaking to the media reporters, DK Shivakumar said that my statement was twisted and that whatever the elders say we have to follow that.
