Karnataka CM News Live Updates: Karnataka governor accepts Siddaramaiah's resignation
Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah resigned on Thursday following months of speculation over a leadership change, clearing the path for his deputy, DK Shivakumar, to take over the state’s top post. Prabhu Shankar, special secretary to the governor, confirmed receipt of the resignation, though formal acceptance is pending as Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot is currently in Madhya Pradesh.
The resignation came shortly after Siddaramaiah reportedly informed cabinet colleagues during a breakfast meeting at his residence. The Karnataka Congress later shared photographs highlighting the cordial relationship between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, captioned: “Unity is our strength!” In several images, Shivakumar was seen seeking Siddaramaiah’s blessings.
Earlier, Congress leaders gathered at Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s residence in Bengaluru for a crucial breakfast meeting. Congress MLA Basavaraj Rayareddy also indicated that party leaders would abide by whatever decision the high command takes, saying, “Whatever the party decides, we will follow it.”
The transition follows marathon meetings involving Rahul Gandhi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, KC Venugopal, Randeep Surjewala, Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar. According to party insiders, Rahul Gandhi urged Siddaramaiah to facilitate a smooth leadership change and consider a larger national role within the Congress organisation. Siddaramaiah reportedly agreed after consultations with loyalists, though he remains reluctant about shifting to Delhi politics despite being offered a Rajya Sabha berth.
The possible elevation of Shivakumar is being viewed as the culmination of a power-sharing understanding reportedly reached after the Congress’s 2023 Karnataka assembly election victory. Shivakumar’s supporters have consistently argued that he was promised the chief minister’s post after two-and-a-half years. While the Congress never officially confirmed such an arrangement, the leadership tussle between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar has remained one of the defining undercurrents of Karnataka politics over the past three years.

Everyone is fighting solely for their own personal gain vying for spoils, power, and position,' says BJP leader
"It is a misfortune for Karnataka that this situation has arisen due to the imprudence of the Congress party's national leadership. They should have made a decision regarding this a year ago...The MLAs lack the necessary funds to carry out their work. Ministers are unsure how long they will remain in their posts, and the administrative officers are in a state of confusion. It would be good if a decision were finally taken now; it really doesn't matter who ultimately takes the helm. However, true to the culture long prevailing within the Congress party in Karnataka, everyone is fighting solely for their own personal gain vying for spoils, power, and position. No one seems to have any genuine interest in the development of Karnataka...This situation is truly unfortunate and regrettable for Karnataka," said BJP MP Lehar Singh Siroya on on Karnataka CM tussle.

Dalit MLAs and leaders should not compromise their self-respect. If offered any ministerial post instead of the chief ministership, they should refuse..." Narayanaswamy said.

Karnataka CM power play: ‘No governance due to CM-Deputy CM chair fight’: BJP attacks Congress

Karnataka Congress leadership change speculation intensifies after Delhi meetings
Speculation over a possible leadership transition in Karnataka has intensified after the Congress government completed three years in office and crossed the halfway mark of its tenure.
Earlier this week, Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar met senior Congress leaders, including party president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, in New Delhi.
However, Congress general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal dismissed reports of a leadership change, saying the meetings were focused on upcoming Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council elections in Karnataka.

From rivals to transition partners: Siddaramaiah-DKS power struggle reaches turning point
The possible leadership transition marks the culmination of a long-running power struggle between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar that began immediately after the Congress’s 2023 Karnataka assembly victory.
Shivakumar, who played a key organisational role in the election campaign, had strongly staked claim to the chief minister’s post after the results. The Congress eventually chose Siddaramaiah as CM while appointing Shivakumar as deputy chief minister and state party president. Reports at the time suggested a compromise based on a rotational chief minister formula, though the party never officially confirmed it.
Over the past three years, supporters of Shivakumar repeatedly demanded implementation of the arrangement. The current developments indicate that the Congress high command may now be moving towards honouring that understanding while simultaneously trying to preserve party unity and prevent internal rebellion.

Karnataka CM news: DK Shivakumar poised for top post after years of Congress power tussle
Deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar appears set to finally secure Karnataka’s top post after years of political negotiations and speculation surrounding a reported rotational chief minister formula within the Congress. Shivakumar’s supporters have long insisted that he was promised the CM’s chair after two-and-a-half years when the Congress formed the government in 2023.
The latest developments followed sustained pressure from the Shivakumar camp during discussions with the Congress high command in Delhi. Although the party has not officially confirmed a leadership change, Shivakumar is expected to attend Siddaramaiah’s breakfast meeting before the chief minister meets the governor. Congress insiders say the transition is being managed carefully to avoid internal rebellion and maintain stability in the state government. The development has intensified political activity in Bengaluru, with MLAs and ministers closely watching the next steps of the Congress leadership.

Amid intensifying speculation over a leadership change in Karnataka, deputy chief minister D K Shivakumar’s push for the chief minister’s post reportedly gained momentum after intervention from Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, sources told TOI. Shivakumar is learnt to have struggled in recent months to directly convince Rahul Gandhi over the reported rotational chief minister arrangement under which he was expected to take over midway through the Congress government’s tenure. Sources said Shivakumar subsequently reached out to Priyanka Gandhi, who then persuaded Rahul Gandhi and Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi to consider his claim to the top post.
Senior Congress MLA RV Deshpande said Siddaramaiah had already informed colleagues about his decision even as several ministers and legislators urged him not to resign. Sources added that while Rahul Gandhi reportedly offered Siddaramaiah a Rajya Sabha berth and a larger national role, the 77-year-old leader is reluctant to shift to Delhi politics. Before stepping down, Siddaramaiah is expected to address the media after a breakfast meeting with cabinet colleagues, which Shivakumar is also expected to attend.
The Congress leadership transition gathered pace after marathon discussions in Delhi involving Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi’s close aides and senior Karnataka leaders. Siddaramaiah remained guarded over the developments, saying only, “I will speak everything tomorrow,” after paying floral tributes to Jawaharlal Nehru at Vidhana Soudha. State home minister G. Parameshwara and PWD minister Satish Jarkiholi said clarity would emerge only after an official announcement.

After months of political uncertainty and intense behind-the-scenes negotiations within the Congress, Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah resigned on Thursday, signalling a major leadership transition in the state and paving the way for his deputy, DK Shivakumar, to assume the top post.
Prabhu Shankar, special secretary to the governor, confirmed receipt of the resignation, though formal acceptance is pending as Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot is currently in Madhya Pradesh.
The resignation came shortly after Siddaramaiah reportedly informed cabinet colleagues during a breakfast meeting at his residence. The Karnataka Congress later shared photographs highlighting the cordial relationship between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, captioned: “Unity is our strength!” In several images, Shivakumar was seen seeking Siddaramaiah’s blessings.
The leadership transition gained momentum after Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar met Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, KC Venugopal and Karnataka in-charge Randeep Surjewala in the national capital. Sources said Rahul Gandhi urged Siddaramaiah to step aside and consider taking up a larger national role within the Congress.
The Congress leadership is simultaneously trying to avoid a “Rajasthan-like crisis” by managing the transition carefully and preventing factional unrest. While Shivakumar’s supporters are demanding that the reported power-sharing agreement be honoured, Siddaramaiah loyalists continue to highlight his support among MLAs and his political significance as a prominent OBC leader. The Congress has reportedly offered Siddaramaiah a Rajya Sabha berth and a national role to ensure a smoother transition.
The unfolding leadership change has also intensified attacks from the BJP, with opposition leaders accusing the Congress government of administrative paralysis due to the prolonged “chair fight” between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar. The coming days are expected to determine whether the Congress can manage the transition peacefully or whether internal tensions will escalate further.
