Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah\u2019s son and Congress MLC, Yathindra Siddaramaiah, dismissed speculation about a leadership change in the state, saying there was no need for a new chief minister as of now.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my opinion, there\u2019s no need to change the CM. Siddaramaiah will remain the full-time CM as there are no complaints against him, he has worked well for the state and has the support of MLAs,” he told reporters, adding that he was unaware of any discussions about power-sharing. Yathindra said the decision made by the Congress high command would be final.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one told me about power sharing. This isn\u2019t the first time MLAs have gone to Delhi to lobby. This has happened before in different parties,” he was quoted as saying in other reports. \u201cWe stand by the high command\u2019s words. There\u2019s no need for change. There shouldn\u2019t have been any unnecessary changes.”<\/p>\n

He also expressed confidence in his father\u2019s position as the Chief Minister. \u201cI personally say that Siddaramaiah will remain the CM for five years. The high command will review everything and decide what\u2019s best,” he added.<\/p>\n

Power Tussle In Karnataka<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yathindra\u2019s remarks came as the Congress high command is preparing to summon Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar to New Delhi, amid the ongoing political drama in Karnataka.<\/p>\n

Sources told CNN-News18<\/em> that the leadership is concerned that the open airing of demands, counters and pressure tactics has dented the image of the Karnataka government and the Congress as a national party.<\/p>\n

The current crisis was reignited after the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government completed the halfway mark of its five-year term on November 20. This milestone brought into focus the persistent rumours of an unwritten \u201cpower-sharing” agreement allegedly finalised in May 2023, following the Congress\u2019s emphatic Assembly election victory.<\/p>\n

This purported pact suggested a rotational chief ministership, with Siddaramaiah serving for the first two and a half years and Shivakumar, the state party chief (KPCC president), taking over for the latter half. Shivakumar\u2019s supporters have pressured the high command to honour the commitment, despite him denying the existence of such an agreement.<\/p>\n

The power tussle rose in the recent weeks as the deadlines are approaching and the pressure on the High Command seems to have been mounting from both factions.<\/p>\n
