On Thursday, several Karnataka Ministers convened at Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's official residence, Kaveri, for a breakfast meeting amidst renewed speculation about a leadership change within the Congress party. Notable attendees included Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and Ministers Priyank Kharge, KJ George, and MB Patil. This meeting comes as discussions about a potential transition have resurfaced, particularly following the Congress government's completion of three years in power. Despite the party leadership's previous denials of such changes, sources suggest that the central leadership may be leaning towards a shift, specifically regarding the elevation of Shivakumar. Recent meetings in New Delhi with Congress leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, have further fueled these speculations. Officially, the party characterized the meeting as focused on upcoming elections, labeling leadership change discussions as mere speculation. Siddaramaiah confirmed that further discussions with the Congress high command would take place soon, maintaining the ongoing intrigue surrounding the party's leadership.
