Amid escalating debates within the Karnataka Congress over the Chief Minister's post, Home Minister Dr. G. Parameshwara has issued a measured statement. Addressing the growing calls for a Dalit Chief Minister, he acknowledged that party leaders are free to voice their aspirations for a Dalit to helm the state.
However, he firmly emphasized that the ultimate decision rests solely with the party's national High Command.Parameshwara's remarks have only fueled the internal rifts within the party.GoSriKi Women's Rayon Viscose Straight Bandhej Printed Kurta with Pant & Dupatta

Echoing this, Parameshwara clarified that no leadership change is on the horizon, adding that he has received no directives from the High Command on the matter.

The Dalit community, a key voter base, has been vocal in demanding the top post, with Parameshwara himself a prominent Dalit leader joined by other community figures in articulating these expectations.Also Read: Second Ayurveda World Summit, December 25-28: Dr. Giridhar Kaje's Dream Becomes Reality
