In a significant development in Karnataka's political arena, Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot departed for Mumbai late Wednesday night, coinciding with rumors of a leadership change. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is expected to resign, paving the way for Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar to assume the role of Chief Minister. This speculation follows a series of intense power struggles within the Karnataka Congress. Siddaramaiah is likely to submit his resignation today, despite the Governor's absence, during a crucial breakfast meeting with Cabinet ministers at his official residence in Bengaluru. Supporters of Shivakumar have already begun celebrating his anticipated rise to power. Additionally, there are discussions about Siddaramaiah potentially being shifted to the Rajya Sabha, although he reportedly is not keen on this position. The ongoing political dynamics have reignited conversations around a possible rotational chief ministership within the Congress party, although no official confirmation has been made.
