Karnataka politics witnessed a dramatic twists as reports strongly indicated that CM Siddaramaiah has decided to step down from the top post, clearing the way for Deputy CM DK Shivakumar to take charge.
The biggest talking point was not just the resignation buzz, but the surprisingly calm and positive atmosphere around it. Siddaramaiah held a breakfast meeting with ministers at his Bengaluru residence, where DK Shivakumar was also present. During the meeting, DK was seen touching Siddaramaiah’s feet and seeking his blessings, creating emotional visuals that quickly went viral across social media.
Siddaramaiah informed close cabinet colleagues about his decision and even wished DK Shivakumar “all the best” for the future. Political circles in Karnataka are now almost convinced that the long discussed power sharing formula inside Congress is finally becoming reality.
Interestingly, there was no visible bitterness from Siddaramaiah’s side despite months of political speculation and pressure regarding leadership change. That is exactly why many leaders and observers are calling this a “happy resignation” instead of a political rebellion.
Meanwhile, celebrations have already started outside DK Shivakumar’s residence, with supporters gathering in large numbers expecting an official announcement very soon. Reports suggest DK could even take oath as the next Karnataka Chief Minister within days.
