The ongoing leadership tussle between Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has intensified within the Congress party, mounting significant pressure on the national high command.

With the winter session of the state legislature set to commence on December 8 in Belagavi, there is growing urgency to resolve this crisis beforehand.Navlik Women's Rayon Embroidered Straight Kurta with Pant and Dupatta Sets (NK-715)

Senior leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, are expected to summon both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar to Delhi for discussions and arrive at a final decision.

This internal discord has disrupted government functioning, leading to criticisms of administrative instability and lack of continuity.

Seizing on this vulnerability, the BJP is preparing to move a no-confidence motion against the government during the Belagavi session. Also Read: Hearing in the High Court today to quash Murugha Sharana's POCSO case...!

State BJP President B.Y. Vijayendra is reportedly consulting with the party's national leadership to finalize this strategy.

The current turmoil contrasts sharply with the Congress's 2023 election promise of a single chief ministerial candidate.
