Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar touched Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s feet and sought his blessings during a breakfast meeting at the latter’s official residence in Bengaluru on Thursday, amid possibilty of power change in the Southern state.
The meeting comes as conversations over a potential leadership transition have resurfaced intermittently over the past several months, despite repeated assertions from the party leadership dismissing such reports.
Earlier today, sweets were distributed outside Shivakumar's residence in anticipation of him becoming the next Karnataka CM.
Speculation around leadership change in the Karnataka Congress has been brewing since the government completed its two-and-a-half years of tenure last year. The Congress government in the state has now completed three years.
