Siddaramaiah, Shivkumar Downplay Power Toss Talk

Since the party came to power after defeating the BJP in the May 2023 assembly elections, a power taste has been inciting a power tussle between two top Congress leaders of Karnataka.

Supporters of Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivkumar claimed that there was a “rotational Chief Minister” system under which he would take over from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah through a five -year tenure. However, the Congress leadership has never officially confirmed any such agreement.

Amidst renewed speculation, Shivkumar recently denied any plan for leadership change or cabinet reshuffle. He said, “There is no cabinet reshuffle on the agenda. The Chief Minister and I are in Delhi to meet the Union Ministers in Delhi,” he said.

With the marks of his half a way of Siddaramaiah’s tenure, the question about a power reshuffle has increased again. However, last week Siddaramaiah insisted that he will remain CM for the entire tenure. Shivkumar agreed, saying that he had no choice but to stand by his senior colleague.

Siddaramaiah is one of the top leaders of the OBC who is with the Congress – perhaps one with the most appeal and collective support. Why will the Congress change it?” Asked the leader.
