Karnataka's political landscape is simmering with tension. Congress leader D K Suresh on Wednesday voiced hope that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah would honor an alleged power-sharing agreement with Deputy CM D K Shivakumar, despite recent delays.
The internal struggle for leadership has intensified, exacerbated by statements from Siddaramaiah's son, Yathindra, asserting the CM's completion of a five-year term. This reignites speculation about a possible leadership change after the government reaches its halfway point in November 2025.
Suresh responded to these developments by suggesting that Shivakumar's patience was not a weakness. He also defended Shivakumar against suggestions of involvement in rumored foreign trips by Congress legislators, attributing such claims to possible internal or opposition attempts to tarnish his image.
