Bengaluru, Nov 20 (NationPress) The political situation within the Karnataka Congress is becoming increasingly tumultuous as the government marks its two-and-a-half-year milestone. The faction aligned with Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has made its way to Delhi, where they have begun applying significant pressure on the party leadership to consider a change in leadership, according to sources.

According to party insiders, the movement from Shivakumar's camp is occurring amid a lack of communication from the Congress high command regarding the long-awaited power-sharing agreement.

This situation follows Shivakumar's recent declaration of his intention to resign as State President during a public event, while Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has maintained that there will be no leadership change in the state and that discussions on this topic are unwarranted.

Sources close to Shivakumar disclosed that the legislators who traveled to Delhi aim to place pressure on the Congress high command for clarity on the power-sharing arrangement.

Additionally, they are pushing to reaffirm the prior commitment to transfer power after two and a half years. They are expected to demand that the national leadership engage in discussions and reach a resolution by December.

On Thursday afternoon, members of Shivakumar’s faction arrived in Delhi via two separate flights, as confirmed by sources.

Headed by Agriculture Minister N. Cheluvarayaswamy, this group included legislators like K. Ranganath, S. R. Srinivas, Ganiga Ravi, Kadaluru Uday, Iqbal Hussain, Rajegowda, Shivanna, Mahendra Tammannavar, Sugar Minister Shivanand Patil, and MLCs S. Ravi and Dinesh Gooligowda.

The group attempted to arrange a meeting with Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge, but he reportedly exited through a back door without meeting the legislators.

Now, the Shivakumar camp is seeking an appointment with AICC General Secretary K.C. Venugopal on Friday, and another group of MLAs is expected to depart for Delhi soon.

While Shivakumar's faction assembled in Delhi, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah held a private meeting at his residence in Bengaluru that included Ministers Byrathi Suresh, M.C. Sudhakar, H. C. Mahadevappa, and senior MLA R.V. Deshpande.

During an event in Chamarajanagar district, Siddaramaiah refuted rumors of a “November revolt,” labeling it a mere fantasy. He also mentioned his readiness to present another budget if desired by the public.

Home Minister G. Parameshwara clarified that the high command has not communicated any decisions regarding the transfer of power.

This unfolding situation is poised to escalate political activities within the ruling Congress party.
