G Parameshwara's appointment as deputy CM in Karnataka's DK Shivakumar government recalls past Congress power struggles in the state. This move aims to balance caste and factional interests, pacifying Parameshwara, a prominent Dalit leader and former CM contender.
G Parameshwara's appointment as deputy CM in Karnataka's Congress government brings back memories of past power struggles within the party, particularly between him and CM DK Shivakumar, and previously with Siddaramaiah.
Senior Congress leader G Parameshwara is set to become Karnataka's Deputy Chief Minister. The decision follows high-level meetings in New Delhi and aims to balance caste and regional equations in the new government led by D K Shivakumar.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge downplayed the Karnataka chief ministerial tussle between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar, stating the party will resolve the "confusion soon." This comes amid speculation fueled by a reported power-sharing agreement and a statement from Home Minister G Parameshwara suggesting Kharge could be a suitable CM.
