Karnataka New CM News | Hug, Handshake, Handover: Karnataka Congress Seals Leadership Transition

After months of speculation, negotiations and an intense battle for succession, Karnataka's leadership transition is finally underway. Siddaramaiah formally resigned as Chief Minister after accepting the Congress high command's decision, clearing the path for DK Shivakumar to take charge. The day was marked by symbolism, from a shared breakfast and public display of unity to a joint appearance before the media. While Siddaramaiah has ruled out a move to Delhi and vowed to remain active in Karnataka politics, Congress leaders are projecting the transition as a smooth transfer of power. The challenge now shifts to government formation, cabinet negotiations and maintaining unity within the party.
