Nov 21, 2025 08:20 pm CST

The Congress party has taken decisive action to address the ongoing power struggle between Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. Party troubleshooter Randeep Surjewala accused the opposition BJP and media of orchestrating a campaign to undermine the government. This latest development follows reports of a potential leadership change based on a purported power-sharing agreement made after the 2023 election victory, with DKS loyalists meeting party leadership in Delhi while both leaders maintain their positions publicly.
