Political Maneuvers: Shivakumar Visits Delhi Ahead of Assam Elections

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar visits Delhi to strategize for the Assam Assembly elections. His meeting with Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, fuels speculation about potential leadership changes in Karnataka amid ongoing power struggles within the state's Congress ranks.

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar is set to visit the national capital on Friday to strategize for the upcoming Assam Assembly elections. As a senior observer, Shivakumar aims to collaborate with senior Congress figures, including former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel.

Amid his visit, a meeting with Rahul Gandhi has sparked rumors of possible changes in Karnataka's political landscape. Shivakumar has been vocal about his ambitions for the chief ministerial role, further intensifying speculation surrounding his political future after half of the Congress government's tenure has elapsed.

Despite media reports of a power tussle, Shivakumar downplayed the context of his recent meetings, emphasizing ongoing efforts and coordination within the party, especially regarding the Save MGNREGA campaign and BJP's political maneuvers in the state.
