Karnataka Politics Heat Up: Congress MLA’s 200% confirmed claim – DK Shivakumar will be the next CM. Secret deal of Congress party high command, MLAs reached Delhi and increasing speculation – is there going to be a big change of power in Karnataka?
Bengaluru. Karnataka politics is once again in turmoil. As soon as the half term of the government is completed, speculations about change of Chief Minister have intensified. Ramnagar’s Congress MLA Iqbal Hussain claims that state Deputy CM DK Shivakumar will be the next Chief Minister 200 percent. MLAs are continuously reaching Delhi while waiting for the decision of the Congress High Command, due to which the question has become even deeper – has the countdown for a major change in the Karnataka CM chair started?
Will the decision of the high command decide the future of Karnataka’s power?
MLA Iqbal Hussain clearly said that the final decision will be taken by the high command, but he is confident that DK Shivakumar will emerge as the new Chief Minister. He also said that the transfer of power is to happen under “a secret deal made between five-six big leaders” of the Congress. This is what makes this issue more mysterious.
Are the MLAs putting pressure on the high command?
Many MLAs have tried to go to Delhi and meet the high command. Some MLAs are openly saying that the party should end the ongoing confusion regarding the Chief Minister as soon as possible, because it is causing loss to the party. Some MLAs are demanding that new faces and youth should also be given a chance in the proposed cabinet reshuffle. It is clear from this that internal politics is very active.
Will the old power-sharing agreement between Siddha and DK be applicable now?
Since the 2023 assembly elections, reports have been emerging that there was a power-sharing agreement between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar for the post of Chief Minister. Now after completion of two years of government, the same issue has become hot.
Did MLA go to Delhi in support of Shivkumar?
According to sources, about six MLAs supporting Shiv Kumar went to Delhi on Sunday night. Before this, about 10 MLAs had met Kharge. However, Shivkumar himself says that he has no information about this and the MLA might have gone to ask for a ministerial post. His statement has made the situation more complicated. In political circles, this is being considered as his strategic silent politics.
Can the high command announce its decision soon?
Magadi MLA Balkrishna says that the high command should immediately intervene and end the confusion. Maddur MLA KM Uday also says that he has received indications that both cabinet reshuffle and leadership change are under consideration. Only one thing becomes clear from this that a big decision is going to be taken within Karnataka Congress.
Is DK Shivakumar’s luck going to shine?
MLA Iqbal Hussain’s statement of “200% sure” has become a big topic of discussion in the political circles. Is this just personal trust or is there some deep political insider knowledge behind this trust? This question remains a mystery at present.
Is change of power in Karnataka just a few steps away?
Much is not clear yet in Karnataka politics, but one thing is certain that the equation of power can change at any time. Now every leader is searching for indications of the high command’s decision. Now all eyes are on whether DK Shivkumar will really be able to reach the post of Chief Minister.
