Siddaramaiah Meets Mallikarjun Kharge Amid High-Stakes Talks Over Karnataka's New Power Structure
Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah met Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge in Delhi as the party intensifies consultations over the transition to a DK Shivakumar-led government. The meeting comes hours after Siddaramaiah's discussions with Rahul Gandhi and amid negotiations over cabinet formation, deputy chief minister posts, and the accommodation of leaders loyal to the outgoing Chief Minister. With Congress aiming for a smooth transfer of power, the Delhi meetings are seen as crucial in shaping the balance of influence in Karnataka's next government.
