The Congress party in Karnataka faces internal crisis as DK Shivakumar’s faction aims for CM role, raising doubts about Siddaramaiah’s future. They have been in a power struggle since the 2023 elections, with a deal in place for both leaders to serve as CM for two-and-a-half years each.
The Karnataka Congress faced a deeper divide with BR Patil, a key leader and advisor to Siddaramaiah, resigning recently due to feeling unappreciated in official and party capacities. This event has escalated the power struggle between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar’s groups within the party.
Patil, a four-time MLA from Aland in Kalaburagi, reportedly has a strained relationship with Priyank Kharge, the politically active son of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. This strained relationship led to Patil’s exclusion from Siddaramaiah’s government. Additionally, Shivakumar’s limited influence in Kalaburagi complicates the Karnataka Congress’s political dynamics.
