Karnataka Congress Ministers Push for More Deputy Chief Ministers

The demand for more Deputy Chief Ministers in Karnataka has resurfaced, with the State Congress chief D K Shivakumar stating that the party's central leadership will decide. Several ministers backing Siddaramaiah have proposed DCM posts for various communities, amid speculation of internal political maneuvers.

In Karnataka, the push for appointing additional Deputy Chief Ministers has gained momentum. State Congress chief D K Shivakumar emphasized that the ultimate decision lies with the party's central leadership.

Ministers close to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah have voiced their support for assigning Deputy CM positions to leaders from Veerashaiva-Lingayat, SC/ST, and minority communities.

The move is perceived as a strategic attempt to mitigate Shivakumar's influence and maintain political equilibrium within the party.
