He said repeated and conflicting public statements were harming the government\u2019s focus at a crucial time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Parameshwara said he has always accepted decisions taken by the high command and continues to stand by that view. With the Budget session approaching, he stressed the need for clear decisions so the government can present a development-oriented Budget. He warned that mixed messages from leaders were creating unnecessary uncertainty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cThe Budget session is approaching. All these issues need to be resolved as soon as possible so that we can present a development-oriented Budget. The high command should clarify things at the earliest. There should be no confusion. Right now, one person gives a statement, another gives a different statement. Such things should not happen,&#8221; said G Parameshwara.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The Home Minister said all leadership-related matters should be resolved quickly to allow the government to concentrate on fulfilling promises made to the people. He added that confusion must end, as different leaders were giving different versions in public. According to him, such situations should not arise when important policy decisions, including the Budget, are due.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Siddaramaiah-Shivakumar power tussle<\/h3>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The Karnataka Congress is facing an intensifying power struggle between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. The disagreement centres on rumours of a power-sharing arrangement made in 2023, which allegedly involved a mid-term change in the chief minister\u2019s post. Siddaramaiah has repeatedly denied the existence of any such rotation formula.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Speculation grew stronger in December 2025, when several Congress MLAs reportedly travelled to Delhi seeking a leadership change after the halfway mark of the government\u2019s term. Parallel dinner meetings during Assembly sessions and Shivakumar\u2019s frequent visits to Delhi added to the buzz. Although both leaders later held breakfast meetings and joint press conferences to show unity, factionalism within the party has continued. The BJP has also mocked the Congress over the visible internal divisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on December 21 described the issue as \u201clocal confusion&#8221; and said there was no rift at the high command level. He urged party leaders in Karnataka to follow decisions taken by the central leadership. Another joint visit by the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister to Delhi is expected, as the party leadership looks to calm tensions before the Budget session.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1847514238 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>December 22, 2025, 11:23 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1847514238 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> \u2018End Confusion Before Budget\u2019: G Parameshwara Tells Congress High Command Amid Karnataka Power Tussle<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
