All Eyes on Rahul Gandhi as Karnataka Leadership Talks Loom
The leadership issue in Karnataka continues to draw attention as party sources indicate that Congress president Rahul Gandhi may soon play a decisive role. Mallikarjun Kharge, a senior party leader, is expected to brief Rahul Gandhi in the next few days on the current situation within the Karnataka unit. Following this, both Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and senior leader D.K. Shivakumar are likely to be called for consultations.
The consultations are expected to address internal disagreements and clarify the party’s strategy in the state. Sources said the meeting could influence decisions regarding the Chief Minister’s tenure and distribution of responsibilities among senior leaders. Observers note that the outcome could either stabilize the party leadership or deepen factional tensions. Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar have maintained a cautious stance publicly, emphasizing party unity while awaiting directions from the high command. Party insiders are watching closely for any signals of compromise or reshuffling.
