R Ashoka, the Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Legislative Assembly, predicts a 'November revolution' and a change in the state’s Chief Minister. He accuses Congress of using Karnataka as an 'ATM' to fund elections in Bihar and Tamil Nadu, hinting at a power struggle between Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar.

In a strong statement on Monday, R Ashoka, Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, confirmed his party's prediction of a 'November revolution' is inevitable and a transition in the Chief Minister's office is set to occur.
According to Ashoka, the current Congress-led government in Karnataka is being exploited as an 'ATM'. The funds, he claims, are used to support Congress's election campaigns in Bihar and Tamil Nadu, with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy, D K Shivakumar, competing to secure this financing and, consequently, the Chief Minister position.
Speculation persists about Karnataka's CM change, with November marking halfway through the Congress government's term. Ashoka pointed to an alleged power agreement involving Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar and called for the people to notice the state's fiscal policies as election strategies for Bihar and Tamil Nadu.
