In Karnataka, a leadership change seems imminent as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah prepares to resign, likely on Thursday, allowing Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to assume the role. Siddaramaiah is set to host a breakfast meeting with his Cabinet colleagues prior to his resignation. However, the process may be complicated by the absence of Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot, who has flown to Indore for personal reasons related to his wife's health. Reports indicate that Siddaramaiah might submit his resignation directly to the Governor's office, as Gehlot is unavailable for an in-person meeting. The resignation will only take effect once accepted by the Governor, who retains the authority to clear administrative decisions even while outside the state. The timing of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting to elect the next Chief Minister remains uncertain.
