Siddaramaiah appeals Congress High Command to end Karnataka CM change speculation

As the power tussle within the ruling Congress in Karnataka refuses to die down, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said that the party high command should ultimately decide to put a full stop to this confusion.

Reiterating that he will abide by the high command’s decision on the issue of CM change, he said legislators are free to meet the



party leadership and share their opinion.

The power tussle within the ruling party has intensified, amid speculation about the Chief Minister in the State, after the Congress government reached the halfway mark of its five-year term on November 20, citing an alleged “power-sharing” agreement involving Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM D K Shivakumar in 2023.
