In a public display of unity aimed at quelling speculation about a leadership tussle, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy, DK Shivakumar, shared a power breakfast, after which Shivakumar declared that “some confusion” over the past month had been “cleared now,” while sources indicated that a smooth, non-dramatic transition of power in Shivakumar’s favor is planned, with the leaders prioritizing a united front to win the upcoming corporation, gram panchayat, and the 2028 assembly elections.
