Days after Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah dismissed rumors of a leadership change, the Congress party faces fresh turmoil as power struggles resurface. AICC General Secretary Randeep Surjewala held a second round of meetings with MLAs in Bengaluru, amid calls from a prominent Lingayat seer for Deputy CM DK Shivakumar to take a more prominent role post the 2023 Assembly poll victory. Shivakumar, balancing ambition and loyalty, says he’ll abide by the Congress high command’s decision, while rumors swirl about Siddaramaiah’s potential elevation to the AICC’s OBC Advisory Council.
