Karnataka News | Siddaramaiah In Delhi: Congress High Command Begins Balancing Act

A day after stepping down as Karnataka Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah has arrived in Delhi for a key meeting with Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi amid the Congress's leadership transition in the state. While the meeting is officially being described as a courtesy call to express gratitude to the party high command, political observers see it as a crucial negotiation over Siddaramaiah's future role, cabinet representation for his loyalists, and the balance of power in the upcoming DK Shivakumar-led government. With Siddaramaiah ruling out a move to Delhi and signalling his intent to remain active in Karnataka politics, the Congress faces the challenge of ensuring a smooth transition while preserving caste equations and party unity.
