Karnataka is witnessing a major political transition after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah resigned and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar rushed to Delhi for crucial Congress meetings. Shivakumar is widely expected to become the next Chief Minister, though Siddaramaiah said the final decision rests with the party high command. Congress leaders are now discussing cabinet formation, CLP leadership and organisational restructuring. Siddaramaiah has reportedly declined a Rajya Sabha role, insisting he wants to remain active in Karnataka politics despite stepping down as Chief Minister.
