Karnataka CM and Deputy Engage in Wordplay Amid Leadership Tussle
The leadership tussle within the Karnataka Congress took a lighter yet pointed turn as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar exchanged wordplay and puns on social media. The exchange began with Shivakumar’s post on X, which subtly hinted at the ongoing debate over power-sharing and leadership expectations within the party.
Hours later, Siddaramaiah responded with a philosophical twist, stating, “A word is not power unless it betters the world for the people,” signalling that governance and public welfare should take precedence over internal political manoeuvring.
The witty back-and-forth reflects the simmering tension within the Congress as discussions on leadership continue to gain momentum. While both leaders maintain that their relationship remains cordial, their carefully crafted remarks suggest deeper disagreements within the party hierarchy.
Observers note that the subtle sparring underscores the urgency for the Congress high command to intervene and settle the matter.
