His statement has sparked fresh rounds of discussion across the state’s political circles. In a counter-note that grabbed headlines, senior Congress leader and former minister KN Rajanna – widely regarded as one of Siddaramaiah’s closest confidants – spoke in Belagavi and said In a democracy, anyone can express their opinion.

When journalists asked Rajanna whether he would seek a cabinet berth if DK Shivakumar becomes CM, he replied firmly

If DK Shivakumar becomes Chief Minister, I do NOT want a ministerial post in his cabinet.

Despite Rajanna repeatedly stressing that the high command’s word is final, his remarks – coming from a leader in Siddaramaiah’s inner circle – have reignited speculation and exposed the lingering undercurrents within the Congress over the CM succession issue.
