The leadership struggle in Karnataka has heightened as Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, a strong contender for the CM role, posted a cryptic message on social media. The poster prominently features Shivakumar with the words, “Efforts may fail, but prayers never do.” Speculation is rife that a crucial meeting involving Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM Shivakumar will be convened after the Sankranti festival to address the ongoing tussle.
The development has sparked further interest with reports of a private conversation between Rahul Gandhi and Shivakumar at Mandakalli Airport. Sources close to Shivakumar revealed that Rahul Gandhi assured him of a forthcoming call to Delhi, leading to optimism within Shivakumar’s camp. The party insiders anticipate a significant meeting towards the end of the month to discuss the leadership issue.
Amid the ongoing speculations, videos and photos of the private discussion between Shivakumar and Rahul Gandhi have circulated widely on social media. The Siddaramaiah camp is closely monitoring the situation as rumors suggest that both leaders may be summoned to Delhi for discussions post the Sankranti festival. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge affirmed that the high command would engage both leaders as needed.
