Karnataka Congress President and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar shared the dais with religious chief Jaggi Vasudev and Union House Minister Amit Shah close to Coimbatore on Wednesday. Formally, it was a Shivaratri celebration and Shivakumar defended his resolution to attend it claiming he’s a religious Hindu.
The following day, all hell broke unfastened in Bengaluru as many in Congress started questioning his resolution to share the dais with Jaggi Vasudev and Shah who overtly attacked the Congress. The opposition BJP claimed that Shivakumar would possibly give up Congress to type another authorities with the assistance of their celebration.
Shivakumar appears unfazed and defended his resolution by saying that it was purely a non secular go to and never political.
However Shivakumar, who has been upset about not being made the Chief Minister, is doing issues which have led to raised eyebrows. He’s repeatedly reminding the celebration bosses in New Delhi that he needs to be made the chief minister changing the incumbent Siddaramaiah, who he thinks has been rewarded properly by the Congress.
He’s claiming that there was an influence sharing settlement after the Congress rode to energy in Might 2023 and it’s his flip to occupy the best place within the state.
The Siddaramaiah camp has been dismissing such agreements and maintains he’ll full the total time period of 5 years. A minimum of a dozen ministers near the Chief Minister have overtly questioned Shivakumar’s claims in the previous couple of weeks.
It’s no secret that the extraordinarily formidable Shivakumar is very upset that the celebration is just not contemplating him for the publish of CM even after he, together with Siddaramaiah, led the celebration to a giant win nearly two years in the past. In line with him, it’s his proper and never a largesse of the Congress.
Nonetheless, breaking the Congress doesn’t look really easy because the celebration has 140 MLAs within the 224-member Karnataka Meeting. The mixed opposition of BJP and JDS has simply 84 MLAs, a number of of them upset with their very own celebration.
Majority of Congress MLAs nonetheless help Siddaramaiah and will not swap sides so simply, if Shivakumar decides to interrupt his 40-year ties with the Congress. Then again, the Gowda clan of JDS dislikes Shivakumar and him transferring to the BJP is just not of their curiosity. If in any respect the unthinkable occurs, the Gowdas would possibly rethink their choices.
A seasoned politician and an incredible organiser, Shivakumar is conscious of such sensible difficulties and will not make any hasty choices.
In line with some insiders, Shivakumar has launched an oblique assault on his personal celebration to avoid wasting his Karnataka Congress president publish. His five-year time period has already expired and lots of within the celebration are demanding that he get replaced with another person. It has angered Shivakumar to no finish and he’s asserting that he’ll proceed because the KPCC president. He not too long ago made a press release that he’ll lead the Congress even within the subsequent Meeting elections due in 2028.
A ministerial colleague of Shivakumar says that he lacks widespread sense at occasions and makes silly errors which work in opposition to him later. He agrees that Shivakumar has limitless assets and a terrific organising capability which he ought to channelise to earn the publish of CM in Congress.
Folks near Shivakumar reveal that he’s really upset that he has to actually beg for the publish of CM even after working tirelessly for the Congress for many years.
A agency believer in astrology and a religious Hindu, Shivakumar believes that if he’s not made the chief minister throughout the present time period of the Meeting, he received’t get that publish in his lifetime. That concern of dropping probably the most coveted publish appears to have compelled him to take excessive steps.
How will the Congress handle this disaster? Making Shivakumar CM will definitely upset the Siddaramaiah camp which is numerically stronger and various than every other faction within the celebration.
Each step of Shivakumar, who has previously tried to cease any defection from Congress to BJP in Karnataka and different states together with Maharashtra and Himachal Pradesh, will probably be carefully watched by each Congress and BJP.
Will he? Received’t he? All eyes are on the Karnataka Deputy CM’s subsequent transfer.
