The BJP has escalated its attack on Karnataka's Congress leadership with an AI-generated video showing Deputy CM DK Shivakumar attempting to purchase a "chief minister chair" online only to find it "out of stock." This comes amid intensifying speculation about a potential leadership change as the Congress government reaches its midterm, with Shivakumar's supporters pushing for his elevation based on a rumored power-sharing agreement with current CM Siddaramaiah.
