Karnataka Politics: The party has called a Congress Legislative Party meeting in Bengaluru on Thursday at 7 pm. Central Observers from the AICC have been asked to reach Bengaluru to conduct the CLP Meeting.
After days of speculation and discussions, Congress finally picked Siddaramaiah as the next chief minister of Karnataka. The 75-year-old leader’s mass popularity and administrative skills give him the edge over ‘troubleshooter’ DK Shivakumar, who was aggressively vying for the top post
A ninth-time MLA, Siddaramaiah is an untainted leader, known for his populist schemes and efforts to consolidate the votes of minorities, backward classes and Dalits.
As per predictions, Shivakumar's planetary positions will fall in place for the post by November 2025. Incidentally, this timeframe also coincides with the 2.5 years rotational CM option offered by the Congress high command
