Soon after he landed in Delhi, the Deputy Chief Minister refused to get into details of his arrival and stated, \u201cI have come here to meet my party leaders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Without elaborating further on the agenda of his visit, Shivakumar, when asked whether he discussed the leadership change issue with Rahul Gandhi, he said he \u201ccan\u2019t disclose&#8221; anything as it is between him, his party and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cNot appropriate to disclose all those things. It\u2019s between me, the party high command and my Chief Minister,&#8221; Shivakumar was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Meanwhile, the Deputy Chief Minister had earlier clarified that there were no discussions regarding a change in the Chief Ministership during the recent visit of Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi to the state.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Shivakumar had said that meetings held during Rahul Gandhi\u2019s visit were routine and conducted as per established protocol.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">\u201cI am Karnataka\u2019s Congress President, and he is the leader of the opposition. These meetings and talks are as per protocol; all this cannot be discussed in public\u2026 There are no such discussions (CM change). Rahul Gandhi has asked us to continue the good work, and we will work accordingly,&#8221; Shivakumar said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">The developments come against the backdrop of speculation about a possible change in the state\u2019s leadership after the Congress government in Karnataka completed the halfway mark of its five-year term on November 20.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-3710644589 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>January 16, 2026, 13:37 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-3710644589 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> &#8216;Can&#8217;t Disclose Anything&#8217;: Shivakumar Arrives In Delhi Amid Buzz Over Chat With Rahul Gandhi<\/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.
