The Congress party is currently facing a turbulent political landscape in Karnataka, marked by discussions on potential leadership changes involving Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. A recent meeting led by the Congress high command, which included key figures such as Rahul Gandhi and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, explored various options for Siddaramaiah, including a possible transition to national politics through a Rajya Sabha nomination. Although no definitive decisions have been made, the party is expected to hold further discussions to finalize a roadmap. Meanwhile, Congress general secretary KC Venugopal has publicly denied any immediate changes, emphasizing that the focus remains on the upcoming Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council elections. In contrast, BJP leaders have criticized the Congress for its internal rifts and alleged failures in governance, claiming that the government is on the verge of collapse due to power struggles. They argue that the ongoing disputes over leadership have hindered developmental work in the state, leaving citizens in distress.
