The Congress party's leadership is convening in New Delhi for critical discussions regarding the leadership tussle in Karnataka, involving Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar. The meeting, scheduled for Tuesday at 11 am, will also include Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi. Speculation about a potential change in leadership has intensified following Siddaramaiah's arrival in Delhi. The ongoing power struggle has roots in a supposed power-sharing agreement ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections. Siddaramaiah, who has become Karnataka's longest-serving Chief Minister, faces various options, including a Cabinet reshuffle to strengthen his position or enhancing Shivakumar's responsibilities. Another possibility is Siddaramaiah stepping down in favor of Shivakumar, which he has indicated he might accept by nominating Home Minister G Parameshwara as his successor. The meeting aims to resolve these issues and is expected to bring clarity to the future leadership dynamics in Karnataka.
