Over ten legislators loyal to D. K. Shivakumar have travelled to Delhi to press the Indian National Congress high command to honour an alleged 2023 promise that he would become Chief Minister midway through the current term. This move injects fresh tension into the state government led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who cancelled a two-day tour and returned to Bengaluru amid the internal power struggle. The party has not officially confirmed any rotational CM formula, while Shivakumar himself distanced from the controversy and said he will serve as long as the party wants him. (PC: X)
