Karnataka Politics: The political turmoil in Karnataka regarding change of leadership and the post of Chief Minister has again intensified. The recent meeting between Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah with Rahul Gandhi has sparked a new discussion in political circles. After the video and post surfaced, the debate on power tussle has started again in the state.
After a brief and private conversation with Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday, DK Shivkumar wrote on social media, ‘Efforts may fail, but prayers never fail.’ This post was shared soon after the meeting of the two leaders at Mysuru Airport. At the time of this meeting, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was continuously rejecting speculations about change of leadership. This conversation between DK and Rahul further intensified the speculations about change of power in Karnataka.
Met at Mysuru Airport
On Tuesday, before leaving for Gudalur, Tamil Nadu, Rahul Gandhi reached Mandakalli Airport in Mysuru, where he was welcomed by Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar. Within a few minutes Rahul left by helicopter. Later, while returning to Delhi, when Rahul returned to Mysuru, DK already reached the airport and there was a face to face conversation between the two on the runway for about three minutes. After some time Siddaramaiah also reached there.
Political discussions got more air
After this special conversation, political speculations intensified. DK shared pictures of the meeting, but both the leaders maintained distance from the media. Siddaramaiah clearly said that there is no confusion regarding the post of Chief Minister and the final decision will be taken by the party high command. Meanwhile, the Congress and the police banned the entry of party workers to avoid any kind of show of force at the airport, so that a situation like the sloganeering seen recently at Mangaluru airport does not happen again.
According to sources, this time Siddaramaiah is in no mood of confusion. While talking to Rahul, he said that new confusion should not arise every day and a permanent solution should be found soon. On the other hand, DK Shivkumar, who is waiting for the post of Chief Minister, has also indicated that his efforts will continue. The fight for the chair in Karnataka now seems to be intensifying again and all eyes in the political circles are on the party high command, which will take the final decision on the post of Chief Minister.
