Karnataka’s political corridors witnessed heightened activity on Wednesday as Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar left for New Delhi to meet the Congress high command amid growing internal discussions over cabinet positions and party leadership dynamics.
Sources within the ruling Indian National Congress indicate that the visit comes at a time when several legislators are reportedly lobbying for ministerial berths and greater roles within the government. The move is seen as part of ongoing consultations aimed at maintaining unity and balancing regional and factional interests within the party.
Meanwhile, Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara reiterated Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s longstanding commitment to social justice. Addressing the media, he emphasized that the state government remains focused on welfare initiatives and inclusive development, describing social justice as the cornerstone of the administration’s governance model.
Political observers note that the leadership’s messaging underscores the Congress government’s attempt to consolidate its support base ahead of upcoming electoral contests. As internal consultations continue, the outcome of the Delhi meetings is expected to shape the next phase of Karnataka’s political developments.
