The Karnataka CM Tussle intensified again this morning as Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar met Chief Minister Siddaramaiah over breakfast in Bengaluru. The meeting, however, carried a softer tone than earlier exchanges. Both leaders discussed the rising friction in the ruling party and, therefore, attempted to clear misunderstandings.
Shivakumar arrived early at the CM’s residence. Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah welcomed him for a private conversation. The two leaders spoke for nearly an hour. Moreover, they avoided political allies and held the meeting in a quiet setting. They did not speak to reporters later, which added more curiosity to the ongoing power debate.
The Karnataka CM Tussle began weeks ago. Shivakumar wants clarity on the informal power-sharing formula. Siddaramaiah, however, remains confident about completing his full term. As a result, party discussions have become more delicate and more frequent. Furthermore, leaders in Delhi are watching every development.
Today’s meeting, therefore, offered a chance to cool tempers. It also allowed both leaders to express concerns directly. Although the meeting ended without an official statement, insiders believe it created space for future dialogue. Additionally, party strategists want harmony before key electoral cycles begin.
Governance issues also add pressure. Karnataka faces drought concerns, farmer demands, and budget planning. Consequently, the party wants a stable leadership setup. Workers across districts expect both leaders to settle differences soon.
Finally, the breakfast meeting signals an effort toward unity. More rounds of talks may follow this week. The Karnataka CM Tussle remains the central political discussion in the state, shaping both party strategy and public perception.
