Supporters of DK Shivakumar, the Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, gathered outside his residence to celebrate what they anticipate will be his appointment as the next Chief Minister of the state. They distributed sweets and raised slogans, expressing confidence in Shivakumar's leadership. One supporter praised him for his dedication to the Congress party, stating he has 'sacrificed his life' for its success. Meanwhile, a significant breakfast meeting took place between Shivakumar and current Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, where Shivakumar showed respect by touching Siddaramaiah's feet. Reports suggest that Siddaramaiah is likely to announce his resignation as Chief Minister, facilitating Shivakumar's rise to the position. Speculation about this leadership change has been prevalent since the Congress government completed three years in power, with many supporters viewing this transition as a victory for Shivakumar and the party.
