Amid a brewing political tussle within the ruling Congress party, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah hinted at the possibility of a leadership change on Monday. This development comes shortly after a Vokkaliga seer publicly urged the CM to step down and allow his deputy DK Shivakumar to take over.
When asked about the situation, the Chief Minister stated, “It is not a matter to be discussed in public. Whatever decision the high command takes, we will follow. I don’t want to comment on what Swami ji said. Ours is a national party and we have a high command.”
Recent reports suggest that ministers close to Siddaramaiah are advocating for the creation of additional Deputy CM posts to be filled by leaders from Lingayat, SC, ST, and minority communities.
It remains to be seen how this political drama will unfold in Karnataka, with key players positioning themselves for potential leadership changes. Stay tuned for further updates.
