Karnataka Congress Leadership Tussle Intensifies

There is a big discussion happening in the Congress party in Karnataka, India, about who should be the leader.

The current Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah, and the Deputy Chief Minister, D K Shivakumar, are both important figures in this talk.

Some people in the party want Shivakumar to be the next Chief Minister because they think he is good at organizing and connecting with people.

The Home Minister, G Parameshwara, also wants to be the Chief Minister and thinks it might happen in 2026.

The top leaders of the party, including Mallikarjun Kharge, are trying to decide what to do.

They are going to have a meeting in Delhi after January 15 to talk about this.

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar have said they will accept whatever decision the party makes.

The party workers are also protesting and asking for clarity on the leadership.

The outcome of this discussion will be important for the party's plans for the next few years.
