Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah resigned on Thursday, following months of speculation and a directive from the Congress high command, clearing the path for his deputy, DK Shivakumar, to take the top post.
Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar met the Congress high command in Delhi to discuss a potential leadership change, cabinet expansion, and Rajya Sabha nominations amid internal party pressures.
Kerala's next chief minister remains undecided as the Congress high command deliberates between K C Venugopal, V D Satheesan, and Ramesh Chennithala. Lobbying intensifies for the top post, with leaders awaiting a final decision based on merit and political considerations. Party president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi are key in the process, urging unity and discipline.
