The Congress high command has decided to change the chief minister in Karnataka after three years in power. Following Siddaramaiah's resignation, DK Shivakumar is set to become the next chief minister.
The Congress has taken this major decision with an eye on the upcoming assembly elections, scheduled to take place two years from now. In this context, the question arises: how advantageous will it be for the Congress to switch chief ministers in the middle of its tenure?
