Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah hosted a key breakfast meeting with Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar and cabinet colleagues amid intense speculation over a possible leadership change in the state. The political buzz grew stronger after senior Congress leader G. Parameshwara stated that Siddaramaiah had invited ministers to thank them for their cooperation “before he resigns.” However, he added that any final decision rests with the Congress high command. Amid the speculation, supporters of D.K. Shivakumar gathered outside his Bengaluru residence, distributing sweets and raising slogans in his support as reports hinted at a possible transition in Karnataka’s leadership.
