Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is preparing for a significant breakfast meeting with Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar amid ongoing speculation regarding a leadership change within the Karnataka Congress. This meeting, scheduled for Thursday at Siddaramaiah's official residence in Bengaluru, has sparked renewed discussions within the party, despite previous denials from leadership.
