Karnataka's 'November Revolution': Speculation Mounts Over Political Shift

Speculation is rife in Karnataka about a potential political shift termed the 'November Revolution,' but state Minister Satish Jarkiholi has firmly dismissed the idea of significant changes, especially within the ruling Congress. Jarkiholi assured that the party high command would not permit any such upheaval.

Despite rumors about a leadership change as the government reaches its term midpoint, with discussions focusing on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar, Jarkiholi clarified he is unaware of any planned reshuffles or power-sharing agreements. He reiterated trust in the party's leadership to maintain stability.

The political climate remains tense, with increasing discussions about potential candidates for leadership roles, including the first Dalit CM. Jarkiholi acknowledged the demand but noted that any decision would ultimately rest with the party's central leadership, emphasizing a need for unity.
