Karnataka Congress Leadership Speculations Amid 'November Revolution' Rumors

Amidst rumors of a 'November revolution', Karnataka's Deputy Chief Minister, D K Shivakumar, urges Congress leaders to avoid speculation over a potential leadership change. Talks around a shift in power persist due to a speculated power-sharing agreement. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi's planned visit remains uncertain.

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar has called on state Congress leaders to steer clear of speculations about a potential leadership change, a topic that has fueled the so-called 'November revolution' rumors. This comes as the Congress government approaches the halfway mark of its five-year term next month.

Persistent discussions within political circles suggest possible power dynamics at play, hinting at an alleged sharing agreement between Shivakumar and current Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Nevertheless, Siddaramaiah has reiterated his commitment to serve the complete term, subject to the party's high command decision.

In parallel developments, Shivakumar managed internal party matters, conducting meetings to finalize candidates for upcoming elections in teachers' and graduates' constituencies. Amid speculation about Rahul Gandhi's impending visit to Karnataka, Shivakumar clarified that the date remains undecided, pending preparatory reports.
