Karnataka Power Play: What’s Behind The Siddaramaiah-DK Shivakumar Rift?

The Siddaramaiah vs DK Shivakumar tug-of-war over the Karnataka Chief Minister’s post escalated Thursday with rival camps poised to corral and pressure senior leadership in Delhi. On Wednesday Congress boss Mallikarjun Kharge acknowledged, finally, a crisis (he did not use that word) in the southern state, and said Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and he would “fix it”. That ‘fix’ is awaited and will, it seems at this stage, be a leadership change. But whether Siddaramaiah will prevail or whether DK Shivakumar will finally get what he wants, or if a ‘night watchman’ will be inserted to keep things ticking over till the next election, in 2028, is unclear.
