Major political developments are unfolding in Karnataka with sources indicating that Siddaramaiah may soon step aside, paving the way for DK Shivakumar to become the next Chief Minister. Sources told NDTV that the proposed new government could adopt a multiple Deputy Chief Minister formula to balance power within the Congress. Close aides of Siddaramaiah are also likely to receive Deputy CM posts and key portfolios as part of the transition, which may take place within the next week.
