Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel, H.D. Kumaraswamy, has ignited fresh political speculation by hinting at a significant return to Karnataka’s state-level politics. Speaking on the occasion of Makar Sankranti, the JD(S) second-in-command asserted that he remains inseparable from the state's affairs, despite his current central ministerial responsibilities in New Delhi.

The ‘Toxic’ Viral Trigger

The buzz reached a fever pitch following the release of a viral AI-generated video created by fans. The clip, a parody of the teaser for the Kannada film Toxic, features an AI avatar of Kumaraswamy with the dramatic tagline: "Daddy’s Home - The Comeback." The video, which reimagines the Minister in a cinematic action sequence, has been widely circulated on social media, with supporters projecting him as the "saviour" for the 2028 Assembly elections.

“People Will Decide My Role”

Addressing reporters during the festive celebrations, Kumaraswamy clarified his stance on his political future:

Active Presence: "I am very much active in politics and I will never distance myself from Karnataka. I have never moved away from the soil of this state," he stated.

The Final Arbiter: While currently serving at the Centre, he remarked that his ultimate destination would be decided by the people of Karnataka. "The citizens will soon decide where I should be. My goal is to ensure the state has a government that brings peace and prosperity," he added.

Alliance Dynamics: NDA Unity

The timing of these statements is crucial, as recent reports suggested internal friction within the BJP-JD(S) alliance regarding the upcoming local body (GBA and Panchayat) elections.

NDA Commitment: Kumaraswamy dismissed rumors of a rift, affirming that the JD(S) remains a steadfast partner in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Avoiding Confusion: "We have entered into a formal alliance agreement. There should be no room for confusion or friction among our cadres. We must work together to provide a strong alternative to the current administration," he urged his supporters.
