Rare Scene in Karnataka Politics as DK Shivakumar Seeks Siddaramaiah Blessings

A dramatic political moment unfolded in Karnataka after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah reportedly informed party leaders about his decision to step down from the top post. The development has intensified discussions around a leadership transition in the Karnataka Congress and strengthened speculation that Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar could soon take charge as the next Chief Minister.

The emotional scenes during a special breakfast meeting at Siddaramaiah’s official residence quickly became the centre of attention across political circles. In the presence of ministers and senior leaders, DK Shivakumar touched Siddaramaiah’s feet and sought his blessings before both leaders shared a warm embrace. Photos and videos from the meeting have now gone viral on social media platforms.

According to party sources, Siddaramaiah is expected to submit his resignation letter later in the day. During the meeting, he reportedly told ministers that the final decision regarding the next Chief Minister would be taken by the Congress high command and everyone should respect the leadership’s decision.

With Siddaramaiah preparing to step aside, speculation has grown stronger around DK Shivakumar becoming the next Chief Minister of Karnataka. Political observers believe the Congress leadership may soon officially announce the power transition after weeks of internal discussions and suspense.

Reports also suggest that the swearing in ceremony for the new Chief Minister could take place within the next few days. Congress leaders are currently engaged in consultations regarding the formation of a new cabinet and allocation of portfolios.

Meanwhile, another discussion has emerged regarding the absence of Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot from Bengaluru due to personal reasons. However, Congress leaders clarified that official procedures related to the resignation and government formation would continue as scheduled without any delay.

The latest developments have created intense political excitement in both Bengaluru and Delhi, with party workers and supporters closely watching every move in the Karnataka Congress leadership transition.
