Initially, Siddaramaiah, taking into account the ongoing assembly session, requested a delay, proposing to accept Rajanna\u2019s resignation after 10 days. However, Venugopal was insistent and advised the Chief Minister to speak directly with Rahul Gandhi.<\/p>\n
The conversation between Siddaramaiah and Rahul Gandhi was brief and to the point. According to a Congress source, Rahul Gandhi\u2019s message was unequivocal: \u201cI am not talking about his resignation, sack him<\/a>.”<\/p>\nThis direct and unambiguous directive left no room for negotiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\u0c9a\u0cc1\u0ca8\u0cbe\u0cb5\u0ca3\u0cbe \u0c86\u0caf\u0ccb\u0c97\u0ca6 \u0cb5\u0cbf\u0cb0\u0cc1\u0ca6\u0ccd\u0ca7 \u0cac\u0cbe\u0cb2\u0cbf\u0cb6\u0ca4\u0ca8\u0ca6 \u0c86\u0cb0\u0ccb\u0caa \u0cae\u0cbe\u0ca1\u0cc1\u0cb5 \u0cae\u0cc2\u0cb2\u0c95 \u0ca8\u0c97\u0cc6 \u0caa\u0cbe\u0c9f\u0cb2\u0cbf\u0c97\u0cc0\u0ca1\u0cbe\u0c97\u0cbf\u0cb0\u0cc1\u0cb5 \u0c95\u0cbe\u0c82\u0c97\u0ccd\u0cb0\u0cc6\u0cb8\u0ccd \u0ca8\u0cbe\u0caf\u0c95 @RahulGandhi<\/a> \u0c85\u0cb5\u0cb0\u0cc1 \u0cb8\u0ca6\u0ccd\u0caf \u0cb9\u0ca4\u0cbe\u0cb6 \u0cae\u0ca8\u0cb8\u0ccd\u0ca5\u0cbf\u0ca4\u0cbf\u0caf\u0cb2\u0ccd\u0cb2\u0cbf\u0ca6\u0ccd\u0ca6\u0cbe\u0cb0\u0cc6. \u0c88 \u0cb9\u0cbf\u0ca8\u0ccd\u0ca8\u0cc6\u0cb2\u0cc6\u0caf\u0cb2\u0ccd\u0cb2\u0cbf \u2018\u0c87\u0ca6\u0ccd\u0ca6\u0cbf\u0ca6\u0ccd\u0ca6\u0cc1 \u0c87\u0ca6\u0ccd\u0ca6\u0c82\u0c97\u0cc6 \u0cb9\u0cc7\u0cb3\u0cbf\u2019 \u0c95\u0cbe\u0c82\u0c97\u0ccd\u0cb0\u0cc6\u0cb8\u0ccd \u0ca6\u0ccb\u0cb7\u0c97\u0cb3\u0cbf\u0c97\u0cc6 \u0c95\u0ca8\u0ccd\u0ca8\u0ca1\u0cbf \u0cb9\u0cbf\u0ca1\u0cbf\u0ca6 \u0cb9\u0cbf\u0cb0\u0cbf\u0caf \u0cb8\u0c9a\u0cbf\u0cb5 \u0c95\u0cc6.\u0c8e\u0ca8\u0ccd \u0cb0\u0cbe\u0c9c\u0ca3\u0ccd\u0ca3 \u0c85\u0cb5\u0cb0 \u0ca4\u0cb2\u0cc6\u0ca6\u0c82\u0ca1\u0cb5\u0cbe\u0c97\u0cbf\u0ca6\u0cc6. \u0cae\u0cc1\u0c96\u0ccd\u0caf\u0cae\u0c82\u0ca4\u0ccd\u0cb0\u0cbf\u0c97\u0cb3 \u0cac\u0cb2\u0c97\u0cc8 \u0cad\u0c82\u0c9f\u0cb0\u0cbe\u0c97\u0cbf\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/YlYAxmlPk7<\/a>\u2014 Vijayendra Yediyurappa (@BYVijayendra) August 11, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\nCM Siddaramaiah\u2019s swift action<\/h2>\nFollowing the conversation, the Chief Minister\u2019s office acted swiftly.
