Delhi Visit Highlights Growing Support for Shivakumar Among State MLAs
The political dynamics within Karnataka Congress appear to be shifting as more legislators are reportedly backing Deputy Chief Minister and KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar. According to sources, at least six party MLAs arrived in Delhi on Sunday night (November 23) to show their support for him amid ongoing discussions over party leadership and strategy. The developments come shortly after statements by senior leaders emphasizing collective efforts in the party’s functioning, interpreted by observers as a subtle counter to Shivakumar’s growing influence. Party insiders suggest that the legislators’ travel to the national capital is aimed at reinforcing Shivakumar’s position with the central leadership and ensuring that their views are represented in key decision-making. While the exact agenda of the meetings remains undisclosed, political analysts note that such moves often reflect underlying contestations for influence and leadership within the party, highlighting the continuing interplay between state and central Congress leadership in shaping Karnataka’s political future.
