Former Minister K.N. Rajanna has made a sensational statement that has stirred up state politics. Responding to reporters' questions regarding a possible change in the Chief Minister's position, he issued a warning: "If Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar were to become the Chief Minister of the state, the state Congress offices would have to be heavily locked."

Rajanna, discussing D.K. Shivakumar's aspirations for the CM post, stated that he has no objection if it is destined for D.K. Shivakumar to become CM, and the party High Command should take the final decision on the matter. However, he expressed his internal apprehension and opposition, saying that if D.K. Shivakumar becomes CM, the Congress party offices would have to be locked. Patanjali Ayurved Launches Seamless Online Shopping – Doorstep Delivery with Up to 10% Discounts!

This statement brings to light the hidden dissent brewing within the state Congress unit. He further conveyed his strong personal wish that Siddaramaiah should continue as Chief Minister for the full five-year term. Acknowledging that Siddaramaiah is also under pressure, he clarified that the decision regarding the CM's position is ultimately up to the High Command. https://dv7jujfts4bjf.cloudfront.net/Untitled design - 2025-10-24T080142.136.png_2025-10-24T02:32:24.619Z

Regarding the timeline for political changes, Rajanna calculated that no significant changes would occur in state politics until November 14. Any changes, if at all, are likely to take place only after the results of the Bihar elections and subsequent developments.
