Karnataka: No change of leadership: DK Shivakumar

AICC general secretary and party's Karnataka in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala on Tuesday ruled out gathering any opinion on leadership change, remarks that came in the wake of internal bickering in the Congress' state unit over the matter. Surjewala said that he has been meeting the MLAs and MPs to understand the work done by them in their respective constituencies. "Some of you asked me are you taking opinion on leadership change. The answer I had given yesterday also and I am answering again today-- the answer is clearly 'no' in one word," Surjewala said in a press conference.

Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar seems to have shut down speculation of a change in the state leadership, for now, with a clear message to Congress legislators that he expects "no recommendation" for any post.Shivakumar's clarification comes amid a speculated power tussle in the Karnataka Congress leadership. An internal rift within Congress over power has sprung up time and again since the party came to power in the state in 2023.

Meanwhile, a leaked video of a senior Congress leader has triggered a fresh fire in power corridors. Visuals of three-time MLA BR Patil speaking over the phone have sparked a massive row as the Congress high command races against time in its political firefight. In the call, Patil claims he played a key role in helping Siddaramaiah become Chief Minister. “Siddaramaiah won the lucky lottery and became Chief Minister. It was I who made him meet Sonia Gandhi. His fate was good, so he got the position,” Patil is heard saying.His fortunes were good and he became the Chief Minister. I have no Godfather or God. I met (Randeep Singh) Surjewala and said everything I had to. They heard me out with patience, let's see what happens."
