Notably, images released by Siddaramaiah’s office depict intense deliberations between him and Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar, adding to the ongoing speculations.
The meeting includes prominent figures like Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge, and General Secretaries K.C. Venugopal and Randeep Singh Surjewala engaging with Siddaramaiah. Following their talks with Siddaramaiah, the leaders are scheduled to convene separately with Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar for further discussions.
The outcome of this meeting is highly anticipated, with Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar being viewed as a strong contender for the Chief Minister’s position. Siddaramaiah has expressed his wish to complete his term and has affirmed his commitment to abide by the party’s directives.
