The meeting comes a day after Siddaramaiah met Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge at his residence and held discussion with him over government formation.
Meanwhile, supporters of both the leaders are also pitching for their respective leaders and the Congress is working on a power-sharing formula to accommodate all sections.
The newly-elected MLAs in Karnataka have already passed a one-line resolution authorising party chief Kharge to appoint the legislature party leader, who will be the new chief minister.
