The ongoing power struggle between Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has intensified, with Shivakumar strategically referencing Sonia Gandhi's historical sacrifice of power. This leadership crisis stems from an alleged 2.5-year power-sharing agreement that Siddaramaiah appears reluctant to honor, while the BJP prepares to exploit the Congress party's internal divisions with a planned no-confidence motion.
