Karnataka Power Tussle: Cabinet Reshuffle Likely Soon?

The buzz around a Karnataka cabinet reshuffle has returned, with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah calling a dinner meeting of ministers on October 13. While officially termed a routine interaction, political circles see it as a precursor to a possible reshuffle. Speculation is also rife about a potential leadership change, with some Congress MLAs openly backing Deputy CM DK Shivakumar for the top post. The Congress high command's next move-especially after the Bihar polls-could decide the course of Karnataka politics.
