Karnataka's political landscape is abuzz with speculation about Chief Minister Siddaramaiah potentially stepping down. He hosted a breakfast meet for cabinet members, with reports suggesting his deputy, DK Shivakumar, may succeed him. The Congress high command has reportedly urged a leadership change, yet no official announcement has been made.

The political scene in Karnataka is rife with speculation as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah hosted a breakfast gathering for his cabinet. This comes amidst strong rumors of his impending resignation to pave the way for Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar to take over.

Siddaramaiah reportedly sought an audience with the Governor after indications from the Congress high command about a leadership transition. While the party has not officially confirmed any changes, sources suggest a central party role might be offered to Siddaramaiah, who remains hesitant.

Shivakumar's backers have already started celebrations, though there are protests by Siddaramaiah supporters. However, the Congress has yet to publicly convene a legislative meeting for leadership confirmation.
